Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday alleged the TMC-led government in West Bengal is not run from the state secretariat but by the goons and criminals sheltered by the party.

Addressing his second poll rally of the day in the Haripal area of Arambag in Hooghly district, a day before the poll campaign ends, he said the TMC’s “dependence on anti-social elements” to run the government’s show often forces the Calcutta High Court or the Supreme Court to intervene and bring it back on track.
