NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday launched a sharp attack on the Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal, accusing it of fostering "lies, lawlessness and loot" during its rule. Addressing a public rally in Durgapur, PM Modi claimed that people across the state were now turning to the BJP with hope.
"The youth of West Bengal are being forced to migrate to other states even for small jobs," the Prime Minister said, criticising the TMC administration for failing to provide employment opportunities.
Speaking partly in Bengali, PM Modi said, "The people want change. They want development. Bengal desires transformation."
He also promised a shift in the state’s economic trajectory if the BJP comes to power. "Once the BJP government is formed, Bengal can become one of the top industrial states in the country within a few years," Modi said.
Prime Minister added, "The TMC government is a barrier to Bengal's development. Real change will only come when the TMC government is gone."
Citing incidents of violence and alleged administrative inaction, Modi questioned the state's investment environment. "Where riots like those in Murshidabad occur over trivial matters and the police act with bias, how can anyone invest in a place where there is no hope for justice?" he said.
