Prime Minister Narendra Modi has unleashed a scathing yet empathetic critique of West Bengal’s plight in an open letter to its electorate, rallying behind ‘Ebar BJP Sarkar.’ He paints a vivid picture of despair among Sonar Bengal dreamers, where mothers and sisters no longer feel safe, and the state’s industrial legacy lies in tatters.
‘Jai Maa Kali,’ the letter opens, as PM Modi vows to rescue Bengal from its woes, fueled by national successes over 11 years. His administration’s focus on holistic welfare – from farmer aid to youth empowerment and women’s upliftment – has yielded tangible gains, undeterred by state opposition.
Key highlights include linking 5 crore people to banking via Jan Dhan, building 85 lakh toilets under Swachh Bharat, disbursing Rs 2.82 lakh crore loans to micro-entrepreneurs, securing pensions for 56 lakh elders through Atal scheme, providing clean cooking fuel to over 1 crore households via Ujjwala, and direct income support to 52 lakh farmers under PM-KISAN. These central interventions shine against the state TMC’s alleged neglect.
Once the architect of India’s economy and industrial vanguard, West Bengal now reels from 60 years of poor governance, appeasement, youth exodus, and rising crimes against women. PM Modi invokes Vivekananda’s spiritual fervor, Aurobindo’s wisdom, Netaji’s patriotism, and Tagore’s poetic vision – all eclipsed by violence, anarchy, and illegal settlers prioritizing vote banks.
The nation watches in concern as Bengal drowns in darkness. Yet, hope glimmers: other states thrive with better living standards, healthcare via Ayushman, jobs, and safety nets. PM Modi implores Bengal to seize change, making ‘Ebar BJP Sarkar’ the clarion call to restore glory and fulfill Sonar Bengal’s promise.
