He further alleged that the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal was only interested in appeasing minorities. Shah had also accused the Opposition of treating illegal immigrants as a vote bank and doing 'Ilu Ilu' with terrorists, an apparent reference to a popular Bollywood love song from the nineties.
