Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public rally in West Bengal, reiterating his criticism of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) government, which he labeled as 'nirmam sarkaar' (ruthless government). He expressed confidence in a significant electoral shift, predicting a 'storm of poribortan' (change) in the upcoming assembly elections. Modi referred to the previous electoral success in Nandigram, where BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari defeated Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, and expressed optimism that a similar outcome would occur in Bhabanipur and across West Bengal. He described the upcoming elections as crucial for restoring 'Bengal's glory' and criticized the TMC for stalling the state's growth, stating that while India progresses, West Bengal remains stagnant under TMC leadership. The Prime Minister highlighted the historical significance of West Bengal in India's development and lamented the closure of factories in Haldia, attributing the decline to the TMC's governance. The elections for the 294-member assembly are set for April 23 and April 29, with vote counting on May 4.
