Getting on the pitch of ‘Sonar Bangla’, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again appealed to the people of West Bengal to wipe against Trinamool Congress from the state by bringing in Bhartiya Janata Party in the upcoming Assembly elections.
PM accused TMC and previous left governments of ignoring industrial developments in the region and giving an upper hand to the upper class people.
Taking a swipe at Mamata’s “Khela hobe” slogan, Modi said, “Didi bole khela hobe, BJP bole chaakri hobe. Didi bole khela hobe, BJP bole vikas hobe. Didi bole khela hobe, BJP bole shiksha hobe….Khela shesh hobe, vikas aarambh hobe. (Didi says khela hobe (Game on), BJP says there will be jobs; Didi says khela hobe, BJP says there will be vikas(development); Didi says khela hobe, BJP says there will be education; the game will end, development will begin)”
Referring to a slew of central schemes which the TMC government is yet to implement, Modi said, “We believe in Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) while TMC believes in Transfer My Commission.”
PM also stated that the West Bengal has already made up its mind to evoke TMC from the power and they will now be in the path of development in the coming few years under the rule of BJP.
“It’s being said ‘Lok Sabha mein TMC half aur iss baar poori saaf’. Seeing this determination, didi (Mamata) is taking out her frustration on me. But for us, she is a daughter like crores of daughters of India. Respect for them is part of our culture”.
“That is why we were concerned when didi got injured. I pray to God that her leg injury heals soon,” he added.
This was Prime Minister’s second rally in the state since the election dates were announced.
