TMC is an anti-North Bengal, anti-tribal, anti-tea garden, anti-women and anti-youth party: PM Modi in Siliguri
PM Modi says the TMC government has now been in power for 15 years. Over this period, you have witnessed how Bengal has declined under their rule
We want the children of Bengal to have opportunities to play and excel in sports. That’s why BJP Bengal has announced plans to establish a Sports University in North Bengal: PM
For the BJP, the Siliguri Corridor is a corridor of nation, security and prosperity. This project will greatly boost connectivity, trade, and tourism in Bengal and Sikkim: PM Modi
After May 4th, the BJP government will be formed and TMC will have to give an account of every moment of the past fifteen years: PM Modi in Siliguri

Ahead of the West Bengal Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today turbocharged the BJP’s campaign with a high-energy address in Siliguri, drawing massive public support. Addressing a packed rally in North Bengal, the PM launched a scathing attack on the ruling All India Trinamool Congress (TMC), accusing it of corruption, neglect and fostering a climate of fear.

Opening his speech with a personal connect to the region, PM Modi said, “Be it Darjeeling or Siliguri, I have come here many times. Every time, I receive immense love and blessings from the people. Yesterday’s 15-kilometre-long roadshow in Siliguri, filled with enthusiastic participation of youth and women, was truly incredible. Your affection and blessings are my greatest strength.”

He added, “Today’s massive gathering is enough to give sleepless nights to TMC. This rally in Siliguri is signaling the end of TMC’s ‘maha-jungle raj’. Across Bengal, one voice is echoing - ‘Poriborton dorkar, chai BJP sarkar!’”

He underscored what he called 15 years of misgovernance by TMC. “A child who was in Class 1 fifteen years ago is voting in this election today. This is the time to evaluate performance. But TMC has not delivered work, only a record of corruption,” he said.

Highlighting alleged regional neglect, he remarked, “Siliguri is the gateway to North Bengal, yet infrastructure here has been deliberately ignored. Whether it is connectivity, industry or tourism, people have only received neglect. Even the funds sent by the Centre have been siphoned off by syndicates.”

He further criticized the state government’s budget priorities, stating, “While thousands of crores are allocated elsewhere, North Bengal’s development continues to be sidelined. TMC is busy appeasing its vote bank instead of serving all sections equally.”

Emphasising Siliguri’s strategic importance, PM Modi said, “The Siliguri Corridor is not just a geographical term; it is an arm of Mother India. But TMC, driven by appeasement politics, has supported elements that have threatened this vital corridor. The country has a Tukde-Tukde gang and it threatened to cut off the Siliguri Corridor. They wanted to separate the northeast from the country. TMC, which indulges in appeasement politics, supports such people from the road to Parliament. This is the real face of TMC.”

He contrasted this with the Centre’s development push: “For BJP, Siliguri Corridor represents both national security and prosperity. Projects like the Sevoke-Rangpo railway line will directly connect Sikkim to the national rail network, boosting trade, tourism and employment for North Bengal’s youth.”

Outlining BJP’s roadmap, PM Modi said, “Under a double-engine government, Bengal will see double-speed development. We are committed to building modern engineering and medical colleges, a cancer hospital and a fashion designing institute in North Bengal.”

“We want the children of Bengal to have opportunities to play and excel in sports. That’s why BJP Bengal has announced plans to establish a Sports University in North Bengal. However, the TMC government is restricting the freedom of young women. They have created an atmosphere of fear among parents and women across the state,” he added.

Addressing tea garden workers, the PM noted, “Your tea’s flavour is known to me. But TMC has pushed tea gardens into distress. BJP will ensure land rights, housing, water, electricity, education and healthcare for every worker family.”

Raising concerns over law and order, the PM stated, “TMC has created fear among daughters and their families. “Modi guarantees justice in every case of crime against women. BJP will establish women police stations and help desks in every block and increase women’s recruitment in the police force,” he assured.

Announcing financial support, PM Modi said, “Bengal BJP has pledged ₹3,000 assistance for women. This money will reach directly into their bank accounts without any cut or commission.” “North Bengal is a land of immense talent. Tribal communities and Rajbanshi society have contributed greatly to India’s culture and progress. Our government is committed to preserving their language, traditions and identity,” he added.

In a strong closing appeal, PM Modi urged voters to give BJP an opportunity: “For 70 years, you gave chances to the Left, Congress and TMC. Now give Modi one chance, for the safety of daughters, for jobs for youth, for ending infiltration, for restoring law and order and for bringing back development.” He concluded with a powerful slogan, “Kamal khilao, ghuspaithiya bhagao! End fear, bring trust - this change is possible only with BJP.”

PM addresses an energy-packed public rally in Jalandhar, Punjab
July 17, 2026
The party ruling Punjab neither has honest intent nor clean governance: PM Modi's sharp criticism
Punjab’s farmers, youth and entrepreneurs can make the state one of India's strongest growth engines. For that, Punjab needs a double-engine BJP government: PM’s promise
Punjab's youth have extraordinary talent. From the sports goods capital of Jalandhar, I want to tell every young person that this is the time to seize new opportunities: PM
BJP-governed states are delivering faster development, better welfare and stronger support for farmers and employees: PM notes in Punjab

PM Modi addressed a massive public rally in Jalandhar, Punjab, where he highlighted the transformation of India's railway infrastructure, outlined the BJP's vision for a Viksit Punjab and called for a double-engine government to unlock the state's full potential. He also spoke about the growing opportunities for Punjab's youth through India's emerging sports economy.

The PM said Indian Railways, which serves millions of poor and middle-class families every day, had long suffered neglect under previous governments. He noted that while earlier governments limited themselves to announcing new trains, the BJP government has focused on modernising railway infrastructure across the country. He said the newly inaugurated Jalandhar Cantt station, alongside other stations, reflects the vision of a Viksit Bharat while also celebrating Punjab's cultural heritage. He added that these stations are becoming centres of commerce by creating opportunities for local artisans, Vishwakarma beneficiaries and women SHGs. He also recalled that the BJP government renamed Adampur Airport after Shri Guru Ravidass Maharaj Ji and Chandigarh International Airport after Shaheed Bhagat Singh, honouring India's great icons.

PM Modi strongly criticised the Punjab government over law and order, corruption and misgovernance. He said rising gang wars, extortion, attacks on police stations and the growing drug menace have put Punjab's future at risk. He alleged that corruption and criminal cases involving leaders of the ruling party have eroded public trust, while funds provided by the Centre for roads, irrigation, markets and welfare have not been utilised effectively. He further stated that central schemes were being rebranded instead of being implemented honestly, adding that even the Ayushman Bharat scheme had been subjected to political branding.

Calling for a double-engine government in Punjab, the PM said the state has immense potential through its farmers, youth and entrepreneurs. Drawing comparisons with BJP-governed states, he said double-engine governments have accelerated development, strengthened welfare delivery and ensured better support for farmers and employees. He alleged that promises made to women in Punjab remain unfulfilled, while Congress and other regional parties remain occupied with internal politics instead of serving the people. He said only the BJP can bring lasting development, attract fresh investment, generate employment and make Punjab a stronger and more self-reliant state.

Addressing the youth, he noted Jalandhar's globally recognised sports manufacturing ecosystem and said it is at the heart of India's emerging sports economy. He said initiatives such as ‘Khelo India’ are creating new opportunities across sports manufacturing, coaching, sports science, sports medicine, universities, centres of excellence and sports startups. Referring to his recent visits to Australia and New Zealand, he said several agreements had been signed to strengthen India's sports ecosystem and encouraged Punjab's youth to seize these opportunities and make the country proud on the global stage.
