Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced six major guarantees for West Bengal during an election rally in Haldia. The BJP is working hard to take control of the state from Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress before the polls on April 23 and 29.
While speaking at the Vijay Sankalp Sabha in Haldia, Modi criticized the TMC. He accused the party of slowing down the state’s economic progress and said that development had declined across all indicators over the past 15 years. He assured the public that no corrupt individual would escape consequences and warned that action would reach all levels. “Today, I assure you that the BJP will act according to the Constitution. Everyone will receive their rightful due, and this is Modi’s guarantee,” he declared.
The six guarantees include the following points. The first focuses on moving West Bengal from a state of “Bhoy” (fear) to a future of “Bhorosa” (trust). The BJP described this as a promise to end syndicate rule and the cut-money culture. The second emphasizes providing justice to the people. The third guarantees resolution of pending cases related to gang violence, corruption, injustice, and rape.
The fourth guarantee promises to imprison anyone involved in corruption during the Trinamool era, including ministers and police officials. Modi stated that no TMC “goon” would be allowed to remain safe, and public money would not be stolen. The fifth guarantee addresses refugees, ensuring facilities as per the constitution, while deporting infiltrators. The sixth guarantees the implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission for government employees and teachers in Bengal, who Modi claimed had faced intimidation under the current government.
