Krishnanagar (WB): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday stepped up the attack against the Mamata Banerjee government, labelling it as being synonymous with “oppression, dynasty politics, and betrayal” and claimed that the TMC has achieved a “mastery” in turning schemes into scams.
Speaking at a rally in Krishnanagar in Nadia district, Modi outlined an ambitious target for the BJP to win all the 42 Lok Sabha seats in the state, emphasising the essential correlation between West Bengal’s progress and that of the nation.
He rallied supporters to “ensure the proliferation of the lotus”, the electoral symbol of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), in every Lok Sabha constituency in the state.
“The TMC is synonymous with atrocities, dynasty politics and betrayal. People of West Bengal are disappointed by the way the state government is functioning,” he said.
Referring to the incidents in Sandeshkhali, where women have accused TMC leaders of sexual abuse, Modi claimed that instead of supporting the “distressed mothers and sisters” of the area, the state government sided with the accused.
“The mothers and sisters kept pleading for justice, but the TMC government did not listen to them. They took votes in the name of ‘Maa Mati Manush’ but now the mothers and sisters are weeping in West Bengal. The situation in the state is such that here, the criminals decide when to get arrested,” he said.
