During a rally in West Bengal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a fierce critique of the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC), asserting that the party cannot absolve itself of its failures regarding the youth of Bengal, even in a century. He expressed confidence in the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) prospects in the upcoming elections, citing the enthusiasm of the public as a sign of impending victory. Modi highlighted the significance of the elections, scheduled for April 23 and 29, with vote counting on May 4, as a pivotal moment for restoring Bengal's development and glory. He outlined six guarantees that a future BJP government would implement, including restoring trust in governance, holding corrupt officials accountable, and providing rights to refugees while expelling infiltrators. Modi criticized the TMC for its alleged mismanagement, which he claims has resulted in factory closures and economic decline in regions like Haldia, once a thriving industrial hub. He contrasted this with India's overall economic growth, asserting that West Bengal is lagging under TMC rule. The last assembly elections in 2021 saw the TMC secure 213 seats, while the BJP won 77 seats.
