At a rally in Siliguri, West Bengal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized that he embodies all candidates from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and called for public support to foster good governance, enhance law and order, and boost employment opportunities. He criticized the ruling Trinamool Congress government for allocating approximately ₹6,000 crore (roughly $720 million USD) to madrasas while neglecting the development of North Bengal, which he described as a vital gateway to the northeast. Modi asserted that the Siliguri Corridor is essential for India's security and prosperity, stating that the BJP aims to improve infrastructure, industry, connectivity, and tourism in the region. He accused the Trinamool Congress of being anti-development and claimed they have harmed Bengal during their 15-year rule. Modi's rally attracted a large crowd, and he expressed gratitude for their support, promising to dedicate himself to their welfare and vowing to end what he termed the Trinamool's 'jungleraj' (lawlessness).
