Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a large rally in Bangaon, North 24 Parganas district, West Bengal, where he launched a strong critique of the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC), claiming it has suffered a major defeat in the first phase of the assembly elections. Modi stated, “In the first phase of the election, the TMC’s ego was shattered,” predicting a significant victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the upcoming votes. He accused Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of allowing a breakdown in law and order, describing the current state as a 'Maha Jungle Raj' where even minor leaders behave as if they are in power. Modi also questioned the TMC's founding slogan of “Maa, Maati, Maanus” (Mother, Land, People), suggesting that the party has strayed from its principles, leading to suffering among mothers and forcing people to migrate in search of work.

Focusing on agricultural issues, Modi highlighted the BJP's commitment to the jute sector, noting that the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for jute has doubled in the last 11 years. He promised to boost demand for Bengal's jute mills through government initiatives. Modi invoked historical figures like Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose to rally support, urging voters to bring about change. He also made a significant promise to Matua and Namasudra communities, assuring them of citizenship under the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, while issuing a warning to undocumented migrants to leave Bengal by April 29. The election for the remaining 142 seats will take place on April 29, with results expected on May 4.
