Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, March 21, visited Bankura, West Bengal ahead of the state’s assembly elections scheduled later this month. Addressing a rally, PM Modi launched fresh attacks on Trinamool Congress (TMC) and accused the party of indulging in corruption by exploiting the schemes launched by the central government.
During a rally in Bankura, the Prime Minister slammed TMC for making hollow promises. “Where there is a scheme, there’s a scam,” said PM Modi.
He further added that the game of corruption won’t continue in the state and a real change is coming for development, urging the people of the state to vote for Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
“The game of corruption will not continue in Bengal. “Asol Parivartan” (real change) is coming for development of Bengal,” the Prime Minister said.

Targeting the West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, PM Modi in his second visit to Bengal said that she has only made hollow announcements in the last 10 years. The Prime Minister added that she has shown her true colours 10 years back, the people of Bengal would not have voted her party.
“You keep saying ‘Khela Hobe’ while people of West Bengal have decided ‘Khela Shesh Hobe’ (the game will end),” PM Modi said.
“The picture of Bankura today is witness that people of Bengal have decided on May 2, ‘didi jacche ashol poriborton ashche, ashol poriborton anche (Did is going, real change is coming),” he added.
The Prime Minister also added that the more he questions Banerjee, the angrier she gets. “Now she says that she doesn’t like my face. Didi, in democracy, it is the public service and not the face which is put to test,” he said.

Training guns at TMC, PM Modi mentioned that it is important to bring the BJP government in the state to get corruption-free systems. “To give top priority to development, BJP government is necessary for Bengal,” added PM Modi.
Meanwhile, owing to the attacks made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, West Bengal will see a tough battle between the ruling TMC and the BJP. Assembly polls in Assam for 126 seats will be held in three phases on March 27, April 1, and April 6. The counting of votes will take place on May 2.
