Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sharpened the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP's) attack on the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC), saying that the 'feat' his party achieved in Nandigram in 2021 assembly elections, will be repeated in Bhabanipur and entire West Bengal.
Speaking at back-to-back rallies across the poll-bound state, Modi said the political shift that began in Nandigram would now extend across the state, with the BJP fielding Suvendu Adhikari against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in her stronghold.
Modi cornered the TMC government over governance and corruption, announcing a set of assurances if the BJP comes to power, including restoring 'trust and removing fear', ensuring accountability in administration, and acting against corruption irrespective of rank.
The PM also accused the TMC of failing to make Bengal self-reliant in fish production and credited central schemes for boosting production nationally and in BJP-ruled states.
Meanwhile, CM Banerjee hit back at the BJP, asserting that the TMC would retain power despite alleged large-scale deletions from electoral rolls.
