On social media, Modi posted striking images of the female participants, writing, ‘Kolkata never fails to captivate me. This roadshow was extraordinary, amplified by the vibrant energy of our women and youth. The city is unequivocally backing BJP’s vision for progress.’

Turning the spotlight on governance failures, he lambasted TMC for hollow promises. ‘For years, they’ve harvested votes but neglected urban development. Lacking true administrative know-how, TMC indulges in exploitation and coercion, stalling key projects across the city.’

Outlining BJP’s blueprint, Modi vowed revolutionary changes. ‘Our government will deliver next-gen infrastructure, superior connectivity, and modern amenities. We’ll champion health, education, and elevate Bengal’s rich cultural heritage to new heights.’

The procession paused reverently at historic Thanthania Kalibari temple. PM Modi, garland in hand, performed rituals and emerged to roaring applause, symbolizing unity of faith and aspiration in Kolkata’s bustling heart.
