Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched a sharp attack on the Trinamool Congress, saying West Bengal must be freed from “jungle raj,” as he addressed a public gathering at Taherpur Netaji Park in Ranaghat via video conferencing after poor visibility prevented his helicopter from landing at the local helipad and forced it to return to Kolkata airport.
While drawing a comparison with Bihar, the Prime Minister said, “Today the country wants rapid development. Bihar once again gave the NDA government a massive mandate for development…Bihar has also paved the way for the BJP’s victory in Bengal. Bihar has rejected the rule of the ‘jungle raj’ with one resounding voice. Even after 20 years, they have given the BJP-NDA more seats than before. Now we have to get rid of the ‘jungle raj’ in West Bengal…”
“The TMC wants to oppose the BJP. Let them oppose us fiercely, repeatedly, with all their might. I cannot understand why the development of West Bengal is being obstructed. You may oppose Modi, but do not make the people of Bengal unhappy. Do not deprive them of their rights. Do not commit the sin of shattering their dreams. I am humbly requesting the people of West Bengal, with folded hands, to give the BJP a chance,” He added, ANI reported.
