Calcutta:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially ended his West Bengal Assembly election campaign today, lashing out at Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and promising a “Sound Bangla ” (Golden Bengal) if the BJP wins power. He attacked the state government for allegedly defrauding the people who had placed high expectations on him.
“Bengal trusted I did for Pariborton. She broke trust, “he said at a mass rally in Calcutta … The dream of ‘Sound bangla‘It will happen. Today, I have come here today to ensure the development of Bengal, to increase investment here, to protect the culture of Bengal and to bring change, “said Prime Minister Modi at the city’s Brigade Parade Ground.
“I have come here to make you believe in ‘Asol Poribortan“They believe in the development of Bengal, in the change of the situation in Bengal, in increasing investments and industries in Bengal and in rebuilding Bengal,” he said.
The next 25 years, the prime minister noted, are very important for the development of the state. In 2047, when India celebrates 100 years of independence, West Bengal will lead the country once again, he promised.
The democratic system had supposedly been destroyed in the state and the BJP, he said, would strengthen it. He also promised to restore public faith in government systems, the police and the administration.
He continued to attack Ms. Banerjee for persistent accusations of nepotism and family rule in the state.
“The people of Bengal had chosen you as’I did‘But then why were you still a nephew’s aunt? The people of Bengal are just asking you this question, “he asked, hinting at the supposed absolute dominance of Abhishek Banerjee, the Chief Minister’s nephew, over state affairs.
Prime Minister Modi used Trinamool’s favorite slogan to point out the increasing cases of violence. “You are well aware of the condition of ‘Maa, Manush, Maati‘. Mothers are being attacked on the streets and in their homes. Recently, the cruelty unleashed on an 80-year-old mother has shown its cruel face to the entire country, ”he said.
Later he turned to the last favorite of the ruling party, “Khela hobe“, which means “let’s play”. The prime minister tried to use the slogan to indicate that the “Trinamool game was over” and asked people to vote for the BJP.
“Tolabaazi, union, commission cut! He has committed so many scams that he can organize a game of “Olympics Against Corruption”. You’ve played with the hard-earned money for people and their lives, ”he said.
The prime minister was also interested in his change of constituency this time from Bhowanipur to Nandigram. “Your (Mamata Banerjee’s) scooter took a turn towards Nandigram instead of going to Bhawanipore. Didi, I wish everyone the best and I don’t want anyone to get hurt. But what can I do if the scooter is destined to fall into Nandigram? ” he said. The prime minister was referring to Ms Banerjee’s scooter ride a few days ago in protest at rising fuel prices.
He listed the reasons the BJP was rising in the state, claiming that his administration had created “keechad “, or a cesspool, which had fed its own party. “You have pushed Bengal towards separation rather than development and therefore the lotus is blooming. You have divided people along religious lines and therefore the lotus is blooming,” he said referring to his party’s symbol. .
Earlier, Prime Minister Modi arrived in Kolkata around 2 p.m., his first visit to the state after the dates of the Assembly elections were announced last week. This is the first of at least 20 rallies planned for him in the state until the polls end. He has already visited West Bengal at least three times so far in the last few weeks.
Elections for the 294-seat West Bengal Assembly are scheduled to be held in eight phases from March 27 to April 29 and the results will be declared on May 2.
