At a significant election rally in Asansol, West Bengal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a fierce critique of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and its leader, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. He asserted that the TMC has 'ruined Bengal,' alleging rampant corruption and misgovernance that have hindered development and job creation in the state. Modi emphasized that the upcoming elections present an opportunity for the people of Bengal to 'liberate' themselves from what he termed the 'rule of the mafia.' He pointed out the struggles of the youth in finding employment and claimed that Asansol, once a thriving area, has been pushed into poverty under TMC governance. Modi also referred to a recent incident in Malda, labeling it a 'blunder' that would signify the TMC's downfall. He urged the people to support the BJP for a brighter future, promising to advance the Asansol and Durgapur regions if elected.
