With West Bengal’s second phase voting just hours away on April 29, Patna’s political circles are abuzz. NDA heavyweights have unleashed a barrage of criticism against Mamata Banerjee’s regime, forecasting a seismic shift. ‘BJP will form the next government, and May 4 will confirm it,’ they proclaimed amid heightened campaign fervor.
At the center of the narrative is Union Minister Chirag Paswan. In a candid press interaction, he declared, ‘Bengal’s election trends unmistakably indicate a public mandate for transformation. Voters have resoundingly supported PM Modi’s development agenda.’
He delved into the root causes: years of turmoil under Mamata’s leadership, marked by rampant violence, graft, and dictatorial tendencies. ‘The people of Bengal have endured immense hardship, and their votes this time are a direct revolt against it.’
Paswan swiftly countered Rahul Gandhi’s barbs. ‘Leaders who defame Bihar elsewhere lack the moral authority for such rhetoric. Our NDA, led by PM Modi, embodies inclusive growth through ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’.’
Echoing the call, LJP (Ram) MP Arun Bharti advised discernment at the ballot box. ‘Reflect on Bengal’s tragic events and opt for BJP to usher in progress and stability.’
Supporting Bihar’s initiative on mandatory national symbols in public institutions, Paswan noted, ‘These are time-honored customs that fueled independence warriors with zeal. Reviving them fosters national unity – a praiseworthy effort.’
JD(U)’s Sanjay Kumar Jha added, ‘The mood in Bengal swings towards NDA. Fear is dissipating as voters step out boldly.’
This convergence of voices underscores NDA’s aggressive push, betting on anti-incumbency and Modi’s appeal to reshape Bengal’s political landscape.
