PM Modi: In the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed confidence that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will secure maximum triumph in West Bengal. The Trinamool Congress, he claimed, is “fighting for its survival” in the region.
TMC Struggles for Survival
“TMC party is fighting for survival in the Bengal elections. We were 3 before the last Assembly elections. The people of West Bengal gave us 80 seats the last time. This time, the best-performing state in India is going to be West Bengal. BJP is getting maximum success in West Bengal. The elections of West Bengal is one-sided and the people are leading it. The TMC is rattled and the attacks are being carried out. The BJP workers are being locked up in jail ahead of the elections. Despite all these, the people are voting in large numbers,” PM Modi said in an interview with ANI.
A New Era for BJP
When questioned in the open discussion with ANI regarding the “aakhri daur,” or last round, of the Lok Sabha elections, PM Modi said “You used the word ‘aakhri daur’, I can see a lot of things in it- one that it indicates our new era will start. Second, those who were dreaming and making tall promises, it will be their ‘aakhri daur’ as well. ‘Chunav ka aakhri daur nahi hain, unki sthitiyo ka bhi aakhri daur hain’…”
PM Modi’s Resilience Against Personal Attacks
Speaking on sharp personal attacks by the opposition, the Prime Minister said, “As far as Modi is concerned, after being continuously abused for the last 24 years, I have become ‘gaali proof’. Who called me the ‘maut ka saudaagar’ and ‘gandi naali ka keeda’? Our party member in the parliament did the calculation and counted 101 abuses, so whether there is election or no election, these people (Opposition) believe that only they have the right to abuse and they have become so frustrated that now abusing has become their nature.”
PM Modi’s Warning to Marginalized Communities
PM Modi said, “.I want to alert the SC, ST, OBC & other backward-class people because by keeping them in darkness they (opposition) are looting them. Election is such a time, that I should make the countrymen aware of the biggest crisis that is coming. Therefore, I have been explaining this to the people. The basic spirit of the Constitution of India is being violated and that too for the sake of vote bank politics.”
He added, “Those who call themselves well-wishers of the Dalits, Tribals, are in reality their staunch enemies…There is an imprint of the Muslim League in their manifesto…Do you want to destroy the coming generations also for the sake of vote bank?… I will fight for the rights of my Dalit, Tribal, OBC brothers and sisters. And that’s why I’m fighting the battle.” He further said, “They have committed this sin. I am speaking against that and that’s why they have to use such things to lie.”
