Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a strong critique of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) during a rally in Cooch Behar district, West Bengal, following the Malda incident where judicial officers were gheraoed by a mob. Modi described this event as indicative of the TMC's 'maha jungleraj', questioning how a government could fail to protect its judges and constitutional processes. He asserted that the safety of the general public is compromised under TMC rule. Modi further alleged that the TMC government disregards constitutional institutions, claiming that democracy is 'bleeding' in Bengal. He noted that the Supreme Court had to intervene due to the deteriorating law and order situation. The Prime Minister also accused the TMC of fostering a demographic shift in border areas through appeasement politics and protecting illegal infiltrators, all while opposing critical legislation like the Citizenship (Amendment) Act. Modi's remarks aim to galvanize support for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the upcoming elections.
