At a rally in Jangipur, Murshidabad district, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) commitment to implementing the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in West Bengal, aiming to eliminate what he termed the 'politics of appeasement.' Modi asserted that the BJP would not allow Bengalis to become a minority in the state, criticizing the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) for its alleged reliance on infiltrators and vote-bank strategies. He claimed that the TMC had abandoned its foundational slogan of 'Maa-Mati-Manush' and was instead catering to outsiders. Modi also pointed to the increasing debt of over ₹8 lakh crore (approximately $960 million USD) in West Bengal and the decline in its contribution to the national GDP, attributing these issues to TMC's governance and corruption. He vowed that if elected, the BJP would take a hard stance against corruption, stating that 'no red carpet will be laid out for those who devour the rights of the people.' Modi's remarks framed the upcoming 2026 assembly elections as a critical juncture for West Bengal's identity and future, urging voters to seek change.
