Union Home Minister’s quick reply to supporter goes viral amid Madhyamgram roadshow

April 24, 2026: Amit Shah drew attention during the West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026 with a viral social media interaction. Sharing a sunset video on Instagram, he took a swipe at the Trinamool Congress, saying the “sun has set” on its alleged corruption and lawlessness.

The post gained traction after a user requested him to arrive quickly for a roadshow in Madhyamgram, citing long waits in the heat. Shah responded directly, apologising for the delay and assuring he would reach in 10 minutes. The brief exchange quickly went viral, highlighting the growing role of social media in political campaigns.

Later, Shah held a roadshow in Madhyamgram supporting BJP candidate Anindya Raju Banerjee against TMC’s Rathin Ghosh. Sharing visuals from the event, he said the turnout reflected public sentiment, referencing incidents like Sandeshkhali while positioning the election as a referendum on governance in West Bengal.
