Earlier, Actor Mithun Chakraborty who joined BJP today ahead of West Bengal Elections 2021 tried to touch the feet of PM Modi to seek blessings.
In a fresh attack on the West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the state binds India in the spirit of Vande Mataram but Didi terms us ‘bohiragoto’ (outsiders) and added that Bengal wants peace, stability and freedom from violence.
Speaking at a public rally in the Contai area of poll-bound West Bengal’s East Midnapore, the Prime Minister said, “The Bengal that has bound India in the spirit of Vande Mataram, here Mamata Didi terms us ‘bohiragoto’ (outsider). We all are children of this land, no Indian is an outsider in this land.” “Violence and bomb blasts were reported here during Didi’s reign. The state government preferred to be mute in these matters. Bengal wants peace, stability and freedom from violence,” PM Modi said.
“Didi kept the farmers away from PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi. The financial support for farmers was stopped by the TMC government in the state.”
“Farmers will not forget how cruel Didi has been with them. They will break all walls stopping the state’s development on May 2,” he said.
West Bengal Assembly elections will be held in eight phases starting from March 27 with the final round of voting taking place on April 29. The counting of votes will take place on May 2.
West Bengal is likely to witness a triangular contest this time with TMC, Congress-Left alliance and the BJP in the fray.
After winning 3 seats in the 2016 Assembly election in West Bengal, the BJP made deep inroads in the state in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections winning 18 seats and reducing TMC’s tally to 22. Out of the total 42 Lok Sabha constituencies in West Bengal, Congress won two seats, the Left drew a blank.
