It’s time to shift away from divisive tactics and embrace a politics centred on accountability: PM Modi in Jadavpur rally
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking at large rallies in Barasat and Jadavpur, emphasized his commitment to fighting corruption in Bengal and driving the state’s culture and economy towards greater prosperity.
Addressing the huge gathering, PM Modi said, “Today, India is on the path to becoming developed. The strongest pillar of this development is eastern India. In the last 10 years, the expenses made by the BJP Government in eastern India was never made in 60-70 years.”
Starting his speech, PM Modi said that he closely monitored the cyclone’s progress, commending the NDRF and other teams for their exemplary efforts. He also assured that “The Central Government is committed to providing all necessary support to the State Government.”
The Prime Minister also discussed Bengal’s historical significance and its current economic challenges. “Before independence, Bengal was a thriving hub of employment for countless Indians. Today, however, many factories in Bengal lie dormant, forcing its youth to seek opportunities elsewhere. The blame for this decline falls squarely on the shoulders of Congress, followed by the Left, and now TMC. Each party has contributed to Bengal’s woes, with every vote for CPM ultimately benefiting TMC.”
PM Modi shared that a troubling incident unfolded when a TMC MLA made derogatory remarks about Hindus and Bengal’s saints rightfully demanded an apology, “However, instead of rectifying the error, TMC resorted to insulting the saint community itself. Notably, saints associated with ISKCON, Ramakrishna Mission, and Bharat Sevashram Sangh faced disparagement. All this just to appease their vote bank. Furthermore, when sisters from Sandeshkhali sought justice, TMC chose to target them instead.”
PM Modi mentioned that “TMC’s narrative against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) has been fuelled by appeasement politics. However, the reality is evident as hundreds of refugees have successfully obtained citizenship, visible to the entire nation.” “Forget TMC, no power in the world can impede the implementation of CAA,” PM Modi reassured strongly.
In a second massive rally of the day in Jadavpur, West Bengal; PM Modi presented “a stark contrast of priorities, TMC focuses solely on its vote bank, neglecting the youth’s welfare. Meanwhile, Modi champions the cause of a developed India…”
Highlighting the alarming state of democracy in Bengal, PM Modi made the audience aware of certain facts, “Both TMC and Congress exhibit anti-democratic tendencies. From Panchayat to Lok Sabha elections, Bengal’s electoral process is marred by violence, revealing the terror tactics employed by TMC.”
In his call to action, PM Modi encouraged that, “It’s time to shift away from divisive tactics and embrace a politics centred on performance and accountability.”
