PM Modi’s Haldia rally builds massive momentum ahead of West Bengal polls

Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a high-energy address in Haldia, galvanising BJP supporters and setting the tone for the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections. Addressing a massive gathering, PM Modi invoked the spirit of past political transformation and projected a similar wave sweeping across the state.

Recalling the political shift led by Nandigram and Medinipur five years ago, PM Modi said, “Medinipur and Nandigram showed the path of change five years ago. Now, the entire West Bengal has embarked on that very path of transformation.” He added, “What Nandigram achieved then, Bhawanipur will witness this time and the same change will echo across Bengal.”

The rally resonated with energetic slogans as the PM urged the crowd to join in, saying, ‘Paltano dorkar… Chai BJP Sarkar!’ The overarching theme of his address focused on restoring Bengal’s pride and setting it back on a path of growth and prosperity. PM Modi remarked, “This is not an ordinary election. It is about restoring Bengal’s glory, strengthening the foundation of a developed Bengal and taking the first decisive step by bidding farewell to a ruthless government.”

The Prime Minister contrasted India’s rapid economic progress with what he described as Bengal’s decline under the current state government. He said, “India is progressing at a fast pace, but the TMC government has pushed Bengal backwards on key development parameters.” He pointed to the industrial decline of Haldia and the migration of youth as indicators of governance failure.

On employment and youth issues, PM Modi accused the TMC government of betrayal. “The youth of Bengal have been doubly betrayed, there are no private jobs and even government recruitments have been looted,” he said. Emphasising reform, he assured that a BJP government would ensure transparent, time-bound recruitment and organise employment drives.

Addressing economic potential, particularly in fisheries, PM Modi highlighted missed opportunities. “Despite immense potential, Bengal is not self-reliant in fish production. In contrast, states governed by BJP or NDA have doubled production and are now exporting,” he noted, adding that a double-engine government would unlock Bengal’s blue economy.

He also criticised the state government for not effectively implementing central welfare schemes. “Because these schemes carry the ‘PM’ tag, they are either renamed or not implemented, hurting the poor and the elderly,” he said

Focusing on women’s safety, PM Modi expressed concern over rising crimes. “In Bengal today, daughters are not safe be it on the streets, in schools or workplaces. This is due to the protection given to criminals,” he asserted, while assuring that a BJP government would guarantee safety and dignity.

Outlining his vision, the Prime Minister presented “Modi’s Six Guarantees” for Bengal, promising governance based on trust, accountability, strict action against corruption, justice for victims, protection of constitutional rights and implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission for government employees.

Concluding his address, PM Modi called for decisive voter participation. “On 23rd April, every vote will shape Bengal’s future. Press the lotus button at every booth and ensure a government that delivers development, dignity and security,” he urged.
