Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a powerful speech at a public rally in Malda, West Bengal on Saturday. He called for "asli poribortan" or real change in the state. The Prime Minister launched a sharp attack on the ruling Trinamool Congress party led by Mamata Banerjee.
Direct Criticism of State Government
PM Modi took direct aim at the Mamata Banerjee administration during his address. He stated that divisive politics has dominated eastern India for too long. The Prime Minister referenced recent BJP electoral successes in neighboring states to make his point.
"BJP has freed these states from their clutches," Modi declared. He specifically mentioned Bihar, Odisha, and Assam as examples where his party has achieved significant victories.
Railway Development Highlighted
Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister flagged off important train services. He inaugurated the Amrit Bharat and Vande Bharat sleeper trains. These new trains will connect Howrah with Guwahati, improving transportation links across the region.
Sense of Public Sentiment
During his Malda speech, Modi expressed his understanding of public sentiment. He said the current state government has failed to meet people's expectations. The Prime Minister claimed he can sense Bengal's strong desire for genuine transformation.
"Bengal has showered me with immense love," Modi told the gathered crowd. "I can see the belief of 'asli poribortan' for Bengal's development."
Connecting Regional and National Development
The Prime Minister linked Bengal's progress to India's broader national goals. He emphasized that eastern India must develop for the country to achieve its 2047 vision.
"Today, our country is working to achieve the target of becoming developed by 2047," Modi stated. "For a 'Viksit Bharat' it is necessary that eastern India develops too."
The rally in Malda represents another significant political engagement in West Bengal. Prime Minister Modi's direct criticism of the Trinamool Congress government signals intensifying political competition in the state. His emphasis on "real change" reflects the BJP's continued focus on expanding its presence in eastern India.
