Prime Minister Narendra Modi today campaigned in Krishnanagar in Nadia district and Shaheed Minar at Kolkata, West Bengal.

The PM stated that the TMC was worried as the Election Commission was looking into complaints of alleged violation of the model code of conduct by some of it's leaders. Shri Modi added further, "Our EC is respected all over the world. Every sportsman respects an umpire. It's our duty to respect the EC. Polls will come and go. But institutions have to be respected. Mrs. Indira Gandhi too faced punishment when she misused official machinery. Systems can not be destroyed."

Shri Narendra Modi expressed concern over employment opportunities for youth in the state. He opined that the land of Bengal that was known for learning and for the great men who led the nation, today lacked opportunities for it's youth. He said that people now struggled to get suitable jobs in the state.

Shri Narendra Modi alleged that the TMC, the party people of West Bengal trusted and voted for 'Paribartan' in the state, was putting the future of people in darkness by indulging in corruption. He took note of the Saradha chit fund scam and the Narada sting in which several TMC leaders were found to be indulged.

Lambasting at the Congress party and the Left front alliance in West Bengal, the PM said that both the parties were opportunist and were misleading the people of Bengal. Shri Modi added, "In Kerala Left leaders say if a party has ruined the nation it is Congress. In West Bengal the same Left leaders say they will work with Congress!"

PM Narendra Modi urged people of West Bengal to vote for a BJP Government in the state that would take Bengal to newer heights of progress. "Central Government is doing everything possible to ensure a better future for the people in the eastern states. India's progress is incomplete without the development of eastern India. This part of India has to develop for overall development of the country", said the Prime Minister. Several party leaders also joined the PM during the rallies.

PM Modi's statement ahead of departure for visit to Cyprus, Canada and Croatia
June 15, 2025

Today, I will embark on a three-nation tour to the Republic of Cyprus, Canada and Croatia.

On June 15-16, I will visit the Republic of Cyprus at the invitation of President H.E Nikos Christodoulides. Cyprus is a close friend and an important partner in the Mediterranean region and the EU. The visit provides an opportunity to build upon the historical bonds and expand our ties in the areas of trade, investment, security, technology and promote people-to-people exchanges.

From Cyprus, I will travel to Kananaskis, Canada to attend the G 7 Summit at the invitation of Prime Minister H.E. Mark Carney. The Summit will provide space for exchange of views on pressing global issues and the priorities of the Global South. I also look forward to engaging withleaders from partner countries.

On 18 June, I look forward to my visit to the Republic of Croatia and meetings with President Zoran Milanovic and Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic. Both our countries enjoy centuries-old close cultural links. As the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Croatia, it will open new avenues for bilateral cooperation in areas of mutual interest.

This three-nation tour is also an opportunity to thank partner countries for their steadfast support to India in our fight against cross-border terrorism, and to galvanize global understanding on tackling terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
