The TMC-Congress-Left alliance, where TMC is concerned about the nephew, Congress wants to promote the sons and daughters of their royal families: PM Modi
First the left did not listen to you & then the TMC also ignored you. They were busy looting the land of the poor: PM Modi in Siliguri
Whether it's a farmer, a youth, a woman, or someone from the poor background, they are the strong pillars of a Viksit Bharat: PM Modi
PM Modi says due to the continuous efforts for the poor, in the 10 years of the BJP government, 25 crore people have escaped poverty

Observing a massive gathering at West Bengal’s Siliguri, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today extended his greetings to all the family members of those working in the tea gardens. He said, “I have seen India's mothers struggle for basic facilities & empowering them is our priority. The TMC-Left has neglected the mothers of West Bengal. The TMC in West Bengal only intends to loot its people and promote crime against women.”

He added that as a priority our government enabled basic necessities to India's women and mothers, but the TMC has committed scams even in these depriving the State of West Bengal of its benefits.

PM Modi said, “Our government has assured not only free ration but also free healthcare for his poor family. However, the corrupt and anti-poor TMC government here is not implementing the Ayushman scheme at all.” PM Modi asserted that the TMC government is exploiting you at every turn. We send funds for MNREGA labour from Delhi. However, the TMC government here has distributed 25 lakh fake job cards solely to favour its cronies. While we send money to the homes of the poor, the TMC government channels your funds to its preferred individuals,” he added.

Condemning the ruling party for being insensitive towards women, PM Modi asserted, “TMC is not bothered by your troubles, your difficulties. The actions of TMC leaders towards the poor, Dalits, tribals, and sisters in Sandeshkhali are being discussed nationwide. Exploiting women and plundering the earnings of the poor are the deeds of the TMC cronies.”

Also, PM Modi stated that the BJP has always been empathetic towards the challenges and difficulties faced by our Gorkha brothers and sisters. “The BJP has consistently made efforts to alleviate your concerns. We are still close to finding solutions. The BJP will continue its efforts to fulfil your expectations,” he said.

Addressing an emphatic rally in Siliguri, the PM asserted, “The BJP has a clear roadmap for the development of North Bengal. We are focused on promoting businesses related to tea, tourism, and timber here, with the construction of essential facilities underway to support these sectors.”

Underscoring the benefits for tea growers, PM Modi remarked, “The welfare of approximately 40,000 small tea growers in Bengal, engaged in tea cultivation in smaller areas, is also a priority for the BJP government. Under the NDA, the BJP has integrated small tea growers with the facility of the Kisan Credit Card as well as PM Fasal Bima Yojana. Additionally, we have continuously worked to ensure that the earnings of labourers in tea gardens go directly into their accounts.”

Lashing out at those who have entered politics solely to gain power for their family, the Prime Minister said, “Due to the continuous efforts for the poor, in the 10 years of the BJP government, 25 crore people have escaped poverty. Those who previously ignored, Modi now pays attention to. Modi is creating maximum opportunities for every poor person.”

He added, “The TMC-Congress-Left alliance, where TMC is concerned about the nephew, Congress wants to promote the sons and daughters of their royal families, and the Left needs to maintain ties with both to keep their vehicle running.”

Taking a blatant dig at the INDI Alliance, PM Modi iterated, “These people are not concerned about the future of your children. If there is someone who cares about the future of your children, it is Modi, the BJP, and the NDA alliance. That's why today, the people of Bengal are saying - "’ Main Hoon Modi Ka Parivar’. I don't need to leave any bank balance for anyone, nor any mansion or car. I find satisfaction when I see members of my family like you living a comfortable life in a secure home."

Talking about the well-being of farmers, PM Modi said, “Just two days ago, the BJP-led central government made a significant decision for jute farmers. The support price for jute has been increased to ₹285 per quintal. This will benefit millions of jute farmers in West Bengal and the Northeast. Whether it's a farmer, a youth, a woman, or someone from a disadvantaged background, they are the strong pillars of a Viksit Bharat. Therefore, every guarantee from Modi is aimed at empowering all of them.”
