On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a scathing attack on the Mamata Banerjee -led West Bengal government, saying that the money sent from the Center to the state government is not used for the welfare of women and the poor, instead, it is spent on the TMC cadre. Speaking in Kolkata, he attacked the Mamata Banerjee government and emphasized the need for “real change”.
During this time, Prime Minister Modi also resorted to Bangla language to establish better contacts with the people of West Bengal. The Prime Minister said at a public rally in the state, “Trinamool Jabe, Poribortan Hobe (Trinamool will go and change)”. Through this, he gave a message to both the voters and the Trinamool Congress led by Mamta Banerjee.
Elections are to be held in the state next year. The Prime Minister said that the state government has experienced a long reign of the Congress, Left parties and recently Trinamool Congress.
The Prime Minister said, “Today, West Bengal is in dire need of a new beginning and transformational change. Since independence, the state has seen a long period of rule of Congress and later Left parties. 15 years ago, the people of West Bengal wanted change and expressed their trust in the slogan of Maa, Mati, Manush.”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleged that the progress of West Bengal has long been stopped due to Trinamool Congress (TMC) misrule. He said, “The state of the state has worsened under TMC rule since defeating the Left Front in 2011. The recruitment scam has pushed the future of the youth into darkness, while the incidents of crimes against women have also increased continuously. Corruption and anarchy have become the identity of TMC government today.” The Prime Minister clearly stated that as long as TMC is in power, the progress and development of West Bengal will be interrupted.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the Mamta Banerjee government that he had misused the fund sent by the Center for the welfare of the public. He said that the BJP government is needed to bring overall development in West Bengal. The Trinamool Congress looted the money sent by the central government for development projects and instead of spending it in the public interest, he spent it on its workers. This is the reason that West Bengal is lagging behind in development. The Prime Minister also alleged that the Trinamool Congress government has constantly created obstacles in implementing the development schemes of the Center.
