Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi, on Thursday launched a blistering attack on the TMC government in West Bengal and said that the state is "plagued" by violence, corruption, and lawlessness. He further asserted that people are now yearning for change from the "Nirmam Sarkar (cruel government)".
Addressing a rally in Alipurduar, PM Modi cited incidents of communal violence in Murshidabad and Malda as grim reminders of the TMC regime's "cruelty and indifference" to the sufferings of ordinary citizens.
"Today, West Bengal is grappling with a series of crises. People don't want 'Nirmam Sarkar'. They want change and good governance. That is why the whole of Bengal is saying they don't want cruelty and corruption anymore," PM Modi said.
He said widespread violence and lawlessness are tearing apart the fabric of society. "Second [crisis] is the growing sense of insecurity among mothers and sisters, compounded by horrific crimes committed against them.”
PM Modi further stated that the third crisis in Bengal is the deepening despair among the youth, driven by rising unemployment and lack of opportunities, while the fourth is the "pervasive corruption" that is eroding public trust in the system.
"The fifth crisis stems from the self-serving politics of the ruling party, which is stripping the poor of their rightful entitlements. Incidents in Murshidabad and Malda are stark examples of the cruelty of the TMC government and its failure to maintain law and order," he said.
However, turning his guns on the West Bengal teacher recruitment scam, Modi accused the TMC of "ruining the future of thousands of teachers and their families" through rampant corruption and irregularities.
"This is not just the destruction of a few thousand teachers, but the entire education system is deteriorating. Even now, the TMC refuses to admit its mistakes. Instead, they are blaming the courts and the judicial system," he said.
Moreover, he added that the youth, poor, and middle-class families of Bengal are bearing the brunt of this corruption and said the people of the state have now lost faith in the TMC government.
Prime Minister Modi also expressed grave disappointment over the West Bengal government's absence from the recent Niti Aayog meeting, accusing the TMC of being more interested in politics than development.
