Addressing a poll rally in West Bengal’s Kharagpur on Saturday Prime Minister Narendra Modi snapped at Kolkata Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for the lack of development for the past 50-55 years alleging that she stood like a “wall to block central schemes”.
The PM blamed both the Congress and the Left front as well for being an impediment to development in the state during their political reign.
“Yesterday WhatsApp, Instagram & Facebook were down for 50-55 min, everybody got worried. But in Bengal, development, & dreams have been down for 50-55 years. First, it was Congress, then Left, and now TMC, who’ve blocked state’s development,” Modi said at the poll rally.

He also accused Mamata for playing “khela” (game) of appeasement for vote bank politics.
Intensifying his attack on the Mamata-led TMC in West Bengal, Modi said that while the nation is moving forward with the system in place, “in Bengal only ‘bhaipo single window’ works as nothing can happen without passing through this window. Because of TMC syndicate, old industries are shut and only ‘mafia udyog’ prospers.”
Single Window System by the Department of Policy for Industry and Internal Trade’s supports the ease of business policy by allowing a single window system to provide clearances to investors and bringing together all stakeholders.
The accusations come just a day before the Bharatiya Janata Party is set to unveil its manifesto for West Bengal polls.
Elections to the 294-member West Bengal state Assembly 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.
