‘Next 25 years important for Bengal’
The next 25 years are very important for the development of West Bengal, PM Modi said. He went on to add, “In 2047, when India will celebrate hundred years of independence, Bengal will lead the country once again. The development here in the next five years will lay the foundation for state’s development for the next 25 years.”

“I have come here to make you believe in ‘Asol Poribortan’. Belief in Bengal’s development, in change of Bengal’s situation, in increasing investment and industries in Bengal and in the reconstruction of Bengal,” the Prime Minister insisted.

The PM also said if voted to power in the state, the BJP will work hard for farmers, businessmen and the development of sisters and daughters. “We will live every moment to fulfill your dreams,” he added.

“The dream of ‘Sonar Bangla’ will be fulfilled. Today, I have come here today to assure you of Bengal’s development, to increase investment here, to protect Bengal’s culture and to bring change,” PM Modi said at the Brigade Ground rally in Kolkata on Sunday.

Half of the more than 4 crore Jan Dhan accounts in Bengal were opened by women, he said adding that women accounted for 75 per cent of the Centre’s Mudra Loans scheme.

The PM also touted the central government’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic and various schemes related to housing and agriculture.

Didi does not have control over herself: PM
Taking aim at the BJP’s political contenders in West Bengal, the Prime Minister said, “In this Assembly election, there is the TMC, Left and Congress, and their anti-Bengal attitude on one side. On the other side, there are the people of Bengal.”

“This Brigade Parade Ground has been witness to many great leaders and also witnessed those who have disrupted West Bengal’s progress. People of Bengal never left their hopes for change,” the PM remarked.

Attacking CM Mamata Banerjee, the Prime Minister said, “I have known Didi for years. This is not the same Didi who fought against Left rule. Now, Didi does not have control over herself! Her remote control is somewhere else!”

“You have played with the lives and hard-earned money of people. You pulled the shutter on tea gardens and plunged the state into debt. You even snatched employment and wages from the youth. This game will not work anymore,” the PM asserted.

‘BJP has Bengal in its DNA’
Invoking Bharatiya Jana Sangh founder Syama Prasad Mukherjee, PM Modi said on Sunday that the “BJP has Bengal in its DNA”.

This was in response to Mamata Banerjee’s remarks that the BJP’s top leadership comprises “outsiders” who are disconnected from the ground realities of West Bengal and know little about the state’s cultural ethos.
