Barasat/Jadavpur (Bengal), May 28 (UNI) Calcutta High Court’s verdict has unmasked TMC’s deception towards the OBCs in Bengal, asserted Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday.
“By designating 77 Muslim castes as OBCs, TMC unlawfully deprived lakhs of OBC youths of their rights. Yet, observe the response of the TMC CM following this judicial decision, here questions are being raised on the intentions of the judges…” the PM reprimanded strongly during his election rallies.
He vowed to combat corruption in Bengal and propel its culture and economy to new heights.
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.”
Initiating his spirited address, PM Modi said 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.”
Delving deep into his speech, PM Modi underscored the pivotal role of Eastern India in India’s developmental trajectory and remarked, “In the journey of India’s progress, Eastern India stands as a significant force. Over the past decade, the BJP government has allocated more funds to Eastern India than in the preceding six to seven decades. Our efforts have been dedicated to enhancing connectivity across the region, spanning railways, expressways, waterways, and airports.”
The PM also shed light on Bengal’s rich history 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.”
Reflecting on his past promises, PM Modi reiterated his commitment to combating corruption in India, “Ten years ago, I pledged to eradicate corruption, and I’ve upheld that promise. Now, I assure the nation that ‘Naa Khaunga, Naa Khane Dunga’! Recent recoveries of illicit funds from TMC leaders will be thoroughly investigated, and legal measures are being implemented to ensure justice.”
Amidst discussions on scrutinizing the finances of the common citizens by the INDI Alliance, PM Modi shifted the focus to those engaged in corruption and explicitly commented, “Modi vows to examine the ill-gotten gains of corrupt individuals. An X-ray so powerful that it will deter future generations from indulging in corruption.”
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.”
“Despite its claims of advocating for the welfare of the people and the land, TMC’s actions have sowed fear among mothers and insulted the sanctity of the soil. Even TMC’s women MLAs who dare to speak out against its hooliganism face retaliation. Recently, a distressing video surfaced featuring mothers and sisters from Keshpur, West Medinipur, pleading for protection from TMC’s goons. It’s imperative to hold such acts accountable through the power of your vote,” the PM expressed deep grief.
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.”
The PM outlined the prominent difference in governance between TMC & BJP and remarked, “There’s no semblance of good governance under TMC’s rule in Bengal. While Modi ensures clean tap water and affordable housing nationwide, Bengal suffers from arsenic-contaminated water and mafia-driven construction. Despite Modi’s initiatives, TMC creates obstacles, failing to address the needs of its people.”
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.”
“With the country’s resolute decision to elect the Modi government in Delhi”, PM Modi urged the audience, “Come June 1, let the lotus blossom across every seat, including Barasat and Jadavpur.”
The PM also asked the crowd to venture door to door, village to village, and seek blessings at every temple and place of worship.
“Together, let’s usher in a Viksit Bengal and a Viksit Bharat,” the PM concluded.
