Left Front and TMC governments have not done enough for irrigation in Purulia: PM Modi
Purulia ranks among the backward regions in Purulia due to lackadaisical attitude of TMC government: PM Modi
We will have to live up to the 'Sonar Bangla' dream of Tagore, Netaji and Vivekananda: PM Modi
Centre has stressed on education, health and income generation of tribal people: PM Modi
TMC govt has given Purulia only water crisis, forced migration and administration that discriminates: PM Modi at West Bengal rally

Addressing a massive gathering today in West Bengal’s Purulia, PM Modi said, “This land is a witness to Lord Ram and Goddess Sita's exile. This land has Sitakund. It is also said that when goddess Sita was thirsty, Lord Ram got water from the ground by hitting it with an arrow. It is an irony that Purulia faces water crisis today.”

He said, “These people have given Purulia a life riddled with water crisis. They have given Purulia, migration. They have given the poor of Purulia, discriminatory governance. Left Front and TMC governments have not done enough for irrigation in Purulia. BJP government in Bengal will address issues of water and connectivity in Purulia on priority.”

“I know the problems faced in rearing livestock due to less water. TMC government was busy in its 'khel' by leaving farming on its own. First the Left government and then TMC government didn't let industries develop here. Purulia ranks among the backward regions in Purulia due to lackadaisical attitude of TMC government,” he added.

Playing on Mamata Banerjee’s slogan – Khela Hobe, Prime Minister Modi, in Purulia, said, "Didi bole khela hobe, BJP bole chaakri hobe. Didi bole khela hobe, BJP bole vikas hobe. Didi bole khela hobe, BJP bole shiksha hobe.... Khela shesh hobe, vikas aarambh hobe."

Wishing Mamata Banerjee a fast recovery from injury, the PM said, “Bengal made up its mind long back. It's been saying 'Lok Sabha mein TMC half aur iss baar poori saaf'. Seeing this determination, Didi is taking out her frustration on me. But for us, she's a daughter like crores of daughters of India. Respect for them is part of our culture. That is why we were concerned when didi got injured. I pray to God that her leg injury heals soon.”

Taking a dig at Mamata Didi, PM Modi stated, “You have played around for 10 years. Now it's time to begin development. Didi more concerned with games than with development of the state's people. People of Bengal will punish the current regime for 10 years of corruption and misrule.”

Launching an attack against the TMC government, he asserted, “West Bengal can only develop when all sectors come together. Mamata didi, however, never brought together the dalits, tribals, SCs/STs and other such classes. Centre has stressed on education, health and income generation of tribal people.”

“Didi has not had a change of heats, it is the fear of defeat that has crept in. People of Bengal have a strong memory,” the PM added. He raised Batla House encounter, said, “Mamata had stood with the terrorists and questioned the operation. Infiltration being encouraged with the sole objective of appeasement and vote bank politics.”

Continuing the attack at Mamata Government, Prime Minister Modi remarked, “The central government's policy of the BJP is DBT- ie 'Direct Benefit Transfer' while TMC means 'transfer my commission'. TMC extortionists do not even spare ration for the poor that Centre provides. TMC has created a new breed of Maoists in Bengal who loot public money. Countdown has begun for the exit of TMC. The violence, mafia raj, atrocities will not be allowed now.”

“I can assure you, action will be taken against every criminal after BJP forms government on May 2. We will have to live up to the 'Sonar Bangla' dream of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, Netaji and Vivekananda. On May 2 Didi jachhe, asol paribarton asche,” PM Modi said while urging to vote for the BJP in upcoming assembly elections.
