Prime Minister Narendra Modi targeted West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee from his rally in Cooch Behar. He highlighted how the Trinamool Congress used its force to save the culprits of the Sandeshkhali incident.
“The BJP’s primary agenda is to empower women. The culprits of Sandeshkhali will spend their lives in jail,” PM Modi said adding that only the BJP can stop the injustice meted out to the women of Bengal and hence the BJP must be strengthened in West Bengal. What happened to the women of Sandeshkhali was a result of TMC’s misrule. BJP has vowed that it will ensure the punishment of the Sandeshkhali culprits,” Narendra Modi said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee both were in Cooch Behar on Thursday for their election campaigns. While CM Mamata Banerjee vowed to not implement Citizenship Amendment Act in Bengal, Narendra Modi in his public rally thanked Mamata Banerjee and the West Bengal government.
“In 2019 when I came here, I addressed a rally from this same ground. But then Mamata Didi made a platform on the ground leaving a narrow space for me. I said at that time that Didi would see the result of it. And you have shown her the result. This time, there is no such roadblock and so I want to thank Mamata Banerjee and the government,” Modi said.
The BJP gained maximum number of seats in North Bengal in the last Lok Sabha election in 2019. North Bengal’s Cooch Behar, Alipurduar and Jalpaiguri seats are going to the polls on April 19 in the first of the seven phases Bengal will witness.
