Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed two massive public gatherings in Dum Dum and Jadavpur, West Bengal, delivering high-energy speeches that resonated strongly with the people of the state. He congratulated the citizens on the visible wave of change and asserted that the first phase of polling had already signaled a decisive shift in the state’s political landscape.
Opening his remarks, the PM said, “I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the people of Bengal. The wave of change that had been building for a long time has now been stamped by the first phase of voting. The support seen for BJP has sounded the bugle of victory.”
He sharply criticized the ruling party, stating that democracy had been undermined in the state. “In the Bengal where TMC crushed the temple of democracy and weakened it with authoritarianism, the people have begun rebuilding that temple through their vote. Now, in the next phase, you must hoist the flag of victory on it,” he said.
Highlighting the public mood, PM Modi remarked that there was a growing call for change across the state. “Today, one voice echoes across Bengal - ‘Poriborton dorkar, chai BJP shorkar!’” he declared, drawing loud cheers from the crowd.
Invoking the legacy of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, he framed the election as a new movement for freedom from multiple challenges. “This is a moment of a new revolution in Bengal. With your single vote, we will secure freedom- freedom from fear, corruption, syndicates, atrocities on women, forced migration, unemployment and infiltration,” he added.
The PM also focused extensively on women’s empowerment and safety. “I have come here to assure every daughter of Bengal, BJP will not let your dreams be crushed. After May 4, every case of injustice will be opened. This is Modi’s guarantee,” he asserted.
Contrasting governance models, he reiterated, “TMC is anti-women, while BJP believes in women-led development. We are committed to providing safety, dignity and prosperity to every woman.” He outlined welfare measures including direct financial support, housing assistance, healthcare under Ayushman Bharat and schemes aimed at economic empowerment.
Addressing the middle class, PM Modi emphasized tax relief, affordable digital access and housing benefits. He noted that policy changes over the past decade had reduced financial burdens and improved quality of life. He urged voters to bring a ‘double-engine government’ to Bengal for accelerated development.
PM Modi also criticized the alleged ‘syndicate raj’ and lack of industrial growth under the current government. “Factories are shutting down, youth are migrating and opportunities are shrinking. This must change,” he said, urging people to vote for a government that prioritizes jobs and infrastructure.
Speaking specifically about Dum Dum, he highlighted civic issues such as outdated drainage systems, waterlogging and traffic congestion. “We do not want a makeshift Dum Dum; we want an engineered, modern Dum Dum. Only BJP can deliver that with a vision for the future,” he said.
Addressing the second public meeting in Jadavpur, Prime Minister Modi highlighted the scale of participation in the first phase of polling. “The first phase has witnessed bumper voting. From small shopkeepers to big traders, from taxi drivers to rickshaw pullers, people across professions are fearlessly supporting BJP,” he said.
He further asserted that the electoral trend was clearly visible. “The first phase has made it clear that in several districts, TMC may not even open its account. Now, in the next phase, you must seal this with a decisive mandate for a developed Bengal,” he added, urging voters to ensure maximum participation.
Raising concerns about governance, the Prime Minister said, “For the past 15 years, TMC has only looted Bengal. There is corruption in every sector, recruitment scams, chit fund scams, mining scams and ration loot. The people of Bengal are now saying - enough is enough.”
He also raised concerns about the situation at Jadavpur University. “Jadavpur University was once respected across the world, and its foundation was rooted in nationalism. But look at its condition today - threats are being issued within the campus, anti-national slogans are written on the walls, and students are being forced onto the streets instead of focusing on their studies,” he said.
Highlighting local issues in Jadavpur, he remarked, “Here, the syndicate system has taken development hostage. From construction materials to land use, everything is controlled. Illegal construction and land encroachment are rising and people are forced to pay for basic rights. This situation must change.”
Concluding his speech, PM Modi called upon voters to ensure BJP’s victory in the upcoming phase. “You must send BJP candidates to the assembly and form a BJP government here. When PM and CM work together, development will happen day and night,” he said, ending on a note of strong optimism and determination.
