Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government, saying that the money which is being sent by the Centre for welfare schemes is being spent on the TMC cadre.

While addressing a gathering in Kolkata, the Prime Minister said that the BJP-led Centre has extended every possible help for the development of West Bengal, but the development in the state is facing massive challenges from the state government, as the funds released for the welfare schemes are being looted by the TMC and spent on the party cadre.

“The BJP believes that until West Bengal develops, the ‘yatra’ of ‘Viksit Bharat’ will not be successful…In the past 11 years, the central government has extended every possible help for the development of West Bengal…The money that the central government sends for the development of the state is being looted and is spent on the TMC cadre…" he said.

He further said that the BJP believes in ‘Bangalar Uday, Tobei Viksit Bharater Jai‘ (The rise of Bengal leads to the victory of a developed India)."

PM Modi also urged the people of Bengal to elect the saffron party in next year’s assembly elections so that they can get the benefits of central government schemes.

“…It is necessary to elect the BJP in West Bengal to ensure that the benefits of central government schemes reach the people. It is certain that TMC will be removed from power and BJP will be elected," he added.

Earlier today, the Prime Minister inaugurated Rs 5,200-crore worth infrastructure projects, including three crucial metro stretches— Sealdah to Esplanade (Green Line, 2.6 km), Noapara to Jai Hind Bimanbandar (Yellow Line, 6.77 km), and Hemanta Mukhopadhyay to Beleghata (Orange Line, 4.39 km) — marking a landmark infrastructure push for the city.

This marks the first time in 41 years that the city’s metro services will directly connect the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Airport with the rest of the city.

He also laid the foundation of the 7.2-km elevated Kona Expressway worth over Rs 1,200 crore, which is expected to enhance connectivity between Howrah and Kolkata.
