The TMC government will soon understand that ignoring the needs and wishes of the people comes at a heavy cost: PM Modi
The high voting percentages in Bengal till now have shown that the people have resolved to get rid of their corrupt government: Prime Minister Modi
‘Speed-Breaker Didi’ totally decieved the people and their aspirations in the name of ‘Maa, Maati, Maanush’: PM Modi in Bengal

Tearing on the ruling TMC government led by CM Mamata Bannerjee, Prime Minister Modi said, “The TMC government led by ‘Speed-Breaker Didi’ will understand on the 23rd May when the election results will be declared that ignoring the needs and wishes of the people comes at a very heavy cost.

They will understand how democracy ensures that those who loot people, who engage in political violence and hinder their progress, will be held accountable for their actions by losing power after elections. I am extremely happy with the high voting percentage in West Bengal and it is certain that the people of Bengal have decided to get rid of their incumbent corrupt government and stand resolutely with the BJP.”

Launching a scathing attack on the Opposition parties including the TMC for their numerous scandals and scams, PM Modi said, “While the CM of Bengal is busy giving Ministerial posts to those that looted the hard-earned money of the poor, she even went to the extent of sitting on a dharna for her corrupt ministers. What Mamata Didi has done to the aspirations of the people of Bengal will not be forgotten either by the past of this ancient land or by its future. The people had put their faith behind the government of Didi hoping that she would improve their lives, however, she totally decieved them in the name of ‘Maa, Maati, Maanush.”

Concluding his power-packed address to the enthusiastic supporters, PM Modi urged them to maintain the record voting percentages in Bengal in the upcoming phases of Lok Sabha elections in West Bengal and ensure that their corrupt government sees its end after these historic elections. He further enlisted his vision for the future of the country and also highlighted the agenda of his government in the next five years and appealed to his supporters to keep the achievements of his government in mind while voting and exercise their franchise wisely.

During the review, Prime Minister stressed on the importance of timely Rehabilitation and Resettlement of Project Affected Families during implementation of projects. He further asked to ensure ease of living for such families by providing quality amenities at the new place.

PM also reviewed PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. He directed to enhance the capacity of installations of Rooftops in the States/UTs by developing a quality vendor ecosystem.

He further directed states to adopt a saturation approach for villages, towns and cities in a phased manner.

Up to the 45th edition of PRAGATI meetings, 363 projects having a total cost of around Rs. 19.12 lakh crore have been reviewed.
