Bengal farmers have been deprived of Rs 14,000 that was delivered to accounts of farmers all across India: PM Modi in Bengal

Ahead of West Bengal polls, PM Modi today addressed a public meeting in Bankura, West Bengal. Impressed by the huge turnout at the rally, the PM said, “The picture of Bankura today witness that people of Bengal have decided on May 2, 'Didi jacche Ashol Poriborton ashche, Ashol Poriborton ashche’. BJP will bring the Ashol Poriborton in Bengal - to increase the pride of Bengal. Ashol Poriborton - to bring a government in Bengal that serves the poor and remove their problems.”

Hitting out at Mamata Banerjee, PM Modi said, “The game of Corruption - Cholbe naa, the game of Syndicate - Cholbe naa and the game of cut money - Cholbe naa. If persecution and deprivation was on your mind, then why did you chant the mantra of Ma, mati, manush? After the BJP forms the government, maa'er pujo hobe, maatir tilak hobe aar manusher somman hobe.”

Taking a jibe at the TMC for his graffiti, PM Modi said, “I have seen graffiti humiliating me made by Didi's partymen on walls wherein she is hitting my head with her foot and playing football. Didi, you can kick me. But I won't allow you to kick away the development of Bengal and people's dreams.”

Addressing the massive gathering, the Prime Minister accused Mamata Didi for making hollow announcements in the last 10 years, he said, “Didi, you have only made empty promises in the last 10 years, where is the work you claim to have done? You keep saying 'Khela Hobe' while people of West Bengal have decided 'Khela Shesh Hobe'. Didi, the games of corruption, syndicate, cut-money will have to end.

Slamming the Left, Congress and the TMC for taking Bengal backwards, he asserted, “Congress, left and TMC are all to be blamed for development eluding Bengal. All there have wasted a lot of time of your previous generations. I can't let your futures be ruined. I call upon the first time voters to vote and make the dream of Sonar Bangla come true.”

PM Modi slammed TMC government for not doing enough to reach piped water to people. He said, “Jal Jeevan Mission, Ayushman Bharat and other central schemes will be taken up in priority once BJP government comes to power.” “Terracota art from Bankura-Bishnupur region can play a major role in the Aatmanirbhar Bharat dream,” he added.

Asserting that BJP works to schemes, TMC plays by scams, PM Modi stated, “All central schemes that were to be delivered through the state government have ended up in scams. Bengal farmers have been deprived of Rs 14,000 that was delivered to accounts of farmers all across India.”

The PM remarked, “The more I question Didi, the angrier she gets. Now she says that she doesn't like my face. Didi, in democracy, it is the public service & not the face which is put to test. Didi is already asking questions on EVM. It is the same EVM that kept her in power for 10 years. She is already witnessing her defeat in the upcoming elections.”

Urging the people of Bengal to vote, PM Modi said, “Every person in Bengal must exercise their power to vote without any fear. Ebar gorbo sonar Bangla, ebar aschhe BJP.”

The increased line capacity will significantly enhance mobility, resulting in improved operational efficiency and service reliability for Indian Railways. These multi-tracking proposals are poised to streamline operations and alleviate congestion. The projects are in line with the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modiji’s Vision of a New India which will make people of the region “Atmanirbhar” by way of comprehensive development in the area which will enhance their employment/ self-employment opportunities.

The projects are planned on PM-Gati Shakti National Master Plan with focus on enhancing multi-modal connectivity & logistic efficiency through integrated planning and stakeholder consultations. These projects will provide seamless connectivity for movement of people, goods, and services.
