PM Targets Mamata Over ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ Slogan, Warns of TMC Match-Fixing With Left, Congress

Sensing a significant division in the vote share in the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday alerted people of a secret understanding between the Left Front, Congress and Trinamool Congress (TMC) to prevent the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from bringing actual ‘parivartan’ (change) in the state.

Addressing a public meeting in East Midnapore's Haldia, Modi claimed that the BJP's three adversaries are conspiring to keep the party away to befool the people of Bengal.

Earlier the Congress and Left Front looted the people and now TMC is doing the same, with ‘atyachar’ (atrocities) as a new addition since 2011...In Kerala also the Congress and Left Front have an understanding to loot the state. In 2011, when Mamata didi came to power in Bengal, it was not actual ‘parivartan’ (change). It was the rebirth of a government similar to the former Left Front government. The real ‘parivartan’ will come in just a matter of time when BJP will form the government in the state,” he said.

“Bengal demands ‘badlav’ (change) and modernisation. I would like to question how many factories have come up in the last 10 years in Bengal. Bengal is lacking behind many states because politics has been criminalised, corruption institutionalised, and administration and police politicised. This year's budget has allocated a lot for people working in tea gardens of the state. Before independence, Bengal was India's most developed state. It offered the best education. Why did it lose that position? How did this happen?” he questioned.
