KHARAGPUR, 19 MAY: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, during a huge election rally at Kharagpur in West Midnapore and accused her of appeasing her party’s vote bank at the cost of insulting the faith of Hindus and allowing infiltrators to disrupt the demographic balance of the state.
Addressing his third rally of the day in Kharagpur, PM Modi alleged that the ongoing infiltration in West Bengal is rapidly altering the state’s demographic profile. He claimed that the TMC’s appeasement policies have endangered the safety and demographic stability of Hindus in many areas. “In Bengal, TMC is synonymous with terrorism, corruption, appeasement, and nepotism. To appease its vote bank, the TMC is insulting the faith of Hindus. The entire country is angry due to the recent derogatory statement made by the CM of West Bengal,” PM Modi stated.
PM Modi’s remarks were in response to Miss Banerjee’s recent comments against the Ramakrishna Mission and Bharat Sevashram Sangha.
Addressing a poll rally in Goghat under the Arambagh Lok Sabha constituency on Saturday, Miss Banerjee had claimed, “Some monks of the Ramakrishna Mission and Bharat Sevashram Sangha are working under the influence of BJP leaders in Delhi.
Those who are looking after temples are doing great spiritual jobs, but everyone is not doing so. This is not done. We respect the monks.”
PM Modi condemned these remarks, asserting that TMC’s actions against these respected socio-religious organizations were a ploy to appease their vote bank. “The TMC has crossed the limits of decency by spreading canards against ISKCON, Ramakrishna Mission, and Bharat Sevashram Sangha. These organizations are known for their service and morality worldwide, yet the CM of Bengal is openly threatening them,” PM Modi said.
“The Bengal government has pointed fingers at them. So much courage! Just to please their vote bank?” PM Modi said at the rally.
The Prime Minister also criticized Miss Banerjee for allegedly being under pressure from Muslim fundamentalists, leading to her public insults against saints and monks. “In their desperation, TMC leaders have started hurling abuses at prestigious organizations like ISKCON, Ramakrishna Mission, and Bharat Sevashram Sangha. Under pressure from Muslim fundamentalists, she has publicly insulted our faith,” he added.
The PM reiterated his accusations, highlighting that infiltrators are capturing land belonging to Dalits and the underprivileged, making Hindu communities a minority in several regions. “Infiltrators are perilous to Bengal since they are disturbing the demography of the state. In many parts, the Hindus have become a minority,” he emphasized.
PM Modi further alleged that the TMC has dehumanized women from Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) communities to protect local criminals. He referred to incidents in Sandeshkhali, accusing TMC leaders of pointing fingers at women who had suffered atrocities. “The incidents of Sandeshkhali shook the women of Bengal. The TMC has dehumanized the women of SC and ST communities to protect Shahjahan Sheikh,” he said.
The Prime Minister promised stringent action against corrupt individuals within the TMC and other opposition parties. “It is Modi’s guarantee that no corrupt persons will be spared. After the new government is formed on 4 June, corrupt people will spend their lives in jail,” he asserted.
PM Modi at the end of his address, urged the people to cast their franchise in favour of the BJP candidates – Agnimitra Paul from Midnapore and Hiran Chattapadhyay from Ghatal parliamentary constituencies.
