On an election campaign in Bengal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the Trinamool Congress, the left and the Congress for taking Bengal backward in the past four decades and appealed to the people to bring the BJP to power so that the State could also witness development.
Reacting to Modi’s attack Mamata Banerjee told a rally “there are some people in Delhi who think that are all powerful. They sermonise people as though they are God’s younger son.”
Speaking at an election rally in Howrah, the Prime Minister took dig at Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee saying she had herself undergone a Parivartan (change) instead of changing Bengal after the much bandied Parivartan.
“People voted for Parivartan. But now they are disillusioned and now they will teach you a lesson,” Modi said adding “more violence in the polls means Didi has conceded defeat.”
Attacking the Trinamool Government for corruption, Modi said even the chit fund accused “who are now in jail have said where the meetings took place and where the cash was kept. The people reposed faith on you and your men looted them. Now time has come when the people will teach you a lesson.”
In earlier days Bengal was known for industry, culture creativity but today it is known for bomb factory, he said.
Attacking the Trinamool where it hurts the most, the Prime Minister said, “the people involved in Sharada were those who took money in Narada.
Again these were the same people who were responsible in the fall of the Vivekananda flyover in Kolkata,” adding “these people are guilty and you should punish them this time round.”
Attacking the left and the Congress, the PM said “the CPI(M) and the Congress have ruined Bengal in the past 34 years and time has come when the people should choose another options from the four political parties in fray in Bengal.”
He said “the people should vote after seeing the track record of the parties. The Congress has not come to power in the past four decades from States where it was discarded. The left has ruined Bengal and people gave chance to Trinamool which also failed them. Now time has come when the people should choose the BJP based upon its track record.”
His Government had only three goals “development, quick development and all-round development” the Prime Minister said.
