Prime Minister Narendra Modi electrified a massive crowd in Dum Dum on Friday, as West Bengal gears up for phase two voting. He celebrated the first phase results as BJP’s triumph horn, where people rebuilt the temple of democracy demolished by TMC’s tyranny.
‘TMC is panicking like a lamp sputtering before extinguishing,’ Modi said, warning their goons of impending doom post-results. He pledged to free Bengal from prolonged agonies including terror, graft syndicates, violence against daughters, joblessness, migration woes, and illegal encroachments.
Invoking Netaji’s call for blood in exchange for freedom, Modi framed votes as the new revolutionary weapon. He accused TMC of being anti-women, while BJP empowers them—from fielding a grieving mother to Sandeshkhali survivors leading the charge. Bengal’s women, he said, are scripting a new saga, demanding change.
Modi’s welfare promises were robust: Ayushman rollout in the first cabinet meeting for Rs 5 lakh free care, PM Awas aid up to Rs 1.5 lakh with female ownership, free rations sans syndicates, solar subsidies slashing bills to zero, ensuring women’s safety and empowerment.
For the middle class, he touted 11 years of reforms—zero tax up to Rs 12 lakh, doubled medical seats easing education costs, GST cuts on essentials, housing subsidies. Honoring Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee, founder of Jana Sangh, Modi highlighted abrogating Article 370 per his vision of one nation, one constitution.
Lamenting Bengal’s fall from industrial and sports prominence to factory closures and youth flight under TMC’s 15-year misrule, Modi positioned BJP’s double-engine government as the savior for revival.
