New Delhi:
West Bengal Opposition Leader Suvendu Adhikari said North Bengal has always been the prime minister’s bastion.
“North Bengal is Prime Minister Modi’s bastion. Here, people respect him, love him and consider him their own. North Bengal has been favored by Prime Minister Modi since 2014. In 2019, his The vote share has increased and his support base is intact in North Bengal in 2021,” Suvendu Adhikari told reporters on Saturday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched a scathing attack on the Trinamool Congress and the opposition Indian Bloc during his visit to Siliguri, saying it does not affect West Bengal when people are in distress or suffering State Government.
Addressing a rally here, Prime Minister Modi pointed out that to benefit the TMC’s “tolabaz”, 25 lakh fake job cards were produced and sent to the people.
“TMC government provides funds to people of ‘tolabaz’ choice. When you struggle or suffer, it does not affect TMC. The entire country is talking about what TMC leaders did to Dalit and adivasi women in Sandeshkhali. Targeted Atrocities against women and robbing poor people of their hard-earned money, this is what the TMC’s ‘tolabaz’ do,” he said.
Further, Prime Minister Modi also hit out at the TMC over the release of MGNREGA wages – an issue the Mamata Banerjee-led government has been protesting against for a long time – saying that the Center sent the money from Delhi but the TMC The government plundered it.
Exposing the corruption of the TMC government, Prime Minister Modi said, “The TMC government is plundering you step by step. Modi is sending MNREGA salary money from Delhi, but the TMC government here is plundering you step by step. To make TMC’s ‘tolabaz ‘Benefit.’, 2.5 million fake job cards were produced and sent to the people. If Modi sends money to poor people’s houses, then TMC government gives your money to people of ‘tolabaz’ choice. “
The Prime Minister said that everyone in the country can see the problems in West Bengal but the irony is that “first the Left does not listen to you and then the TMC also ignores you. They are busy grabbing the land of the poor”.
“So when you gave me a chance, I gave all these facilities back to you all. We provided free gas connections to our sisters under the Ujjwala scheme but the TMC government did not even allow Ujjwala to provide gas connections to over 14 lakh sisters .Yesterday on Women’s Day, we took another step and now the gas cylinder will be cheaper by another Rs 100. The free ration scheme has also been extended for another five years,” he said.
Furthermore, the Prime Minister also hit out at the Indian bloc, saying that the TMC, Congress and the Left-wing Indian Alliance are also against giving you free ration. In Bangladesh, the corrupt government has created a scam in your rationing scheme itself.
“TMC, Congress and Union of India are discriminating against the people of North Bengal. They have deprived this place of development. These people have deprived this area of development. Their leaders and ministers are in jail in the ration scam case. The government is here The Ayushmann plan was not implemented at all,” the Prime Minister said.
He also mentioned that the BJP is committed to fulfilling every wish and dream in a peaceful and harmonious manner, which is why the Ram temple was built in Ayodhya after many years of wait.
