People of Bengal have faith in politics of development, they want a change: PM Modi

"There is confidence in the politics of development, but not in the politics of corruption and mischief - that is the message of West Bengal." Prime Minister Narendra Modi made such remarks by tweeting a video of a public meeting in Haldia on Monday (February 8) night.
 

PM Modi set foot in Bengal on Sunday (February 7) to inaugurate a group of projects. He went to a public meeting before going to a government function in Haldia. At the meeting, Modi slammed the state government and the opposition parties.
 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has accused the Trinamool Congress (TMC), the Left and the Congress of getting into a “match-fixing” arrangement to defeat the BJP in the upcoming Bengal polls.  PM Modi asked the people of Bengal to be aware of the situation.

The Prime Minister further said, “The Congress regime in Bengal was marked by corruption and the Left added atrocity to this when it came to power. Violence and corruption reached a peak during the Left regime. The TMC gave a rebirth of the violent regime.”
 

At the meeting, Modi asked a question to the people of Bengal. He said, “Once upon a time, Bengal was leading the whole country in the field of education. Why did the pace of development slowdown in Bengal? I want to know, why Bengal is lagging behind?”
 

“People of Bengal are looking for a change. A double engine government is needed to speed up the development of Bengal. As soon as the real change comes, Bengal will be free from corruption. There has been a lot of improvement in Tripura since the BJP government came to power,” the PM added.
