Due to infiltration, Bengal’s ‘roti, beti and mati’ are under threat. Jobs of local people are being snatched away, security of our daughters is at risk and illegal encroachments are taking place: PM Modi
I assure the mothers and sisters of Bengal that under a BJP government, women will be safe and criminals will be behind bars: PM Modi’s promise to West Bengal
First the Congress, then the Communists and now the TMC - they kept coming one after another, filling their pockets while development work in Bengal remained stalled: PM’s concern in West Bengal

Addressing a massive public meeting at the historic Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “This historic land of Bengal, this historic ground of Brigade Parade and this sea of people reflect the enthusiasm and spirit of the people. If anyone wants to know what Bengal is thinking and what lies in the hearts of its people, they should just look at these scenes.” He also gave a clarion call from Brigade Ground, “Paltano Dorkaar, Chai BJP Sorkaar.”

The Prime Minister said, “Today once again, from Brigade Ground, the bugle of a new revolution for Bengal has been sounded. The winds of change in Bengal are now written on the walls and etched in the hearts of the people. The end of the ruthless government in Bengal is inevitable, and the era of lawlessness will come to an end.”

Taking a swipe at the opposition, he remarked, “Yesterday, the TMC insulted all of you who came to this rally by calling you thieves. The enlightened people of Bengal know very well who the real thieves are. Seeing their power slipping away, the ruthless government here has become desperate.”

Prime Minister Modi emphasised the vision of development and employment for the state. He said, “Bengal’s development will happen with honest intent and the right policies. Even though we do not have a government here, the central government is working day and night for the development of Bengal. Today, I have inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of projects worth more than ₹18,000 crore.”

He added, “Just a few days ago, the Union Cabinet approved multi-tracking railway projects for West Bengal, which will improve connectivity and benefit common citizens, farmers, traders and students.”

Highlighting concerns about unemployment and migration, PM Modi asserted, “Bengal’s youth are among the most talented and hardworking in the country. There was a time when Bengal powered the development of India and led in trade and industry. But today, many young people are forced to migrate to other states in search of work.”

Criticising past governments, he stated, “First the Congress, then the Communists and now the TMC - they kept coming one after another, filling their pockets while development work in Bengal remained stalled.”

Referring to welfare schemes of the central government, he said, “The TMC government has only one agenda, they will neither work themselves nor allow others to work. Until they get their ‘cut money’, they do not allow schemes to reach the poor.”

PM Modi spoke at length about the Central Government’s schemes. He added, “Schemes like PM Vishwakarma, PM Surya Ghar Free Electricity Scheme, PM Awas Yojana, Jal Jeevan Mission and Ayushman Bharat are benefiting people across the country, but in Bengal these schemes are being stalled or obstructed.”

Speaking about law and order and women’s safety, he said, “The land that worships Shakti cannot accept a situation where mothers worry about their daughters’ safety. I assure the mothers and sisters of Bengal that under a BJP government, women will be safe and criminals will be behind bars.”

Raising concerns about the political atmosphere in the state, the Prime Minister said, “The dangerous demographic changes in Bengal have made the state insecure. Today, open threats are being made. It is being said that people of a particular community will come together to eliminate others. Sitting in constitutional positions, such threats are being issued against crores of Bengalis. I want to ask -who are these people who claim they can eliminate crores of citizens at the signal of the TMC government?”

Training his guns against the TMC government, the PM stated, “Politics of intimidation and fear has become a weapon for the TMC. Voters are threatened during elections, critics of the government are threatened, the media is threatened and the opposition is threatened. The entire country should know the atmosphere of fear that they want to create in Bengal.”

The Prime Minister remarked that such politics would not continue for long. “The days of TMC’s hooliganism are coming to an end. The countdown for the departure of the TMC government has begun. After the formation of a BJP government in Bengal, everyone will be held accountable,” he said.

Speaking about the alleged insult to the tribal community, the Prime Minister referred to the recent visit of the President of India, Droupadi Murmu. He said, “The Dalit, tribal and poor communities are among the most harassed sections under the present government in Bengal. Recently, our respected President, a daughter of the tribal community, Droupadi Murmu ji, visited Bengal to attend a sacred Santhal tribal festival. But the arrogant state government not only boycotted the event but also left it in complete mismanagement.”

Criticising the governance in the state, the Prime Minister said, “The TMC government has pushed Bengal into complete anarchy. Constitutional institutions are repeatedly attacked. Whenever the Election Commission tries to ensure free and fair elections or attempts to purify the voter list, the TMC starts attacking it.”

PM Modi also raised concerns about infiltration and demographic changes in the state. He said, “Due to infiltration, Bengal’s ‘roti, beti and mati’ are under threat. Jobs of local people are being snatched away, security of our daughters is at risk and illegal encroachments are taking place on Bengal’s land.”

Concluding his address, the Prime Minister said, “The massive gathering here today reflects the awakening of Bengal. From the hills of Darjeeling to the islands of Sundarbans, from the tea gardens of North Bengal to the streets of Kolkata, one voice is rising everywhere, Bengal wants change, and that change will happen.”
