Kolkata, April 11 – The crowd of ordinary people and the public enthusiasm at my campaign rallies in West Bengal this time was unprecedented, even in my home state of Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday afternoon.
“Even in Gujarat, I couldn't have arranged such a rally at 12 noon, even if I wanted to. You always hold amazing gatherings here. I am impressed. It is clear from here that changes are coming in this state after May 4. These enthusiastic gatherings are just a preview of what will happen on May 4,” the Prime Minister said at a campaign rally in the East Burdwan district, amidst the crucial state assembly elections later this month.
The two-phase assembly elections will be held on April 23 and April 29, with the results to be announced on May 4.
Speaking at the event, the Prime Minister said that if the BJP comes to power in West Bengal this time, the new government will release a White Paper detailing instances of corruption during the last 15 years of the Trinamool Congress regime in the state.
“The Trinamool Congress is already in a state of panic. That is why they are campaigning that all welfare schemes in the state will be discontinued if the BJP comes to power. I guarantee that not a single welfare scheme will be discontinued. Only the shops of corruption and the looting of Trinamool Congress leaders will be closed down,” the Prime Minister said.
He also announced that if the BJP comes to power in West Bengal this time, the first Cabinet led by the new chief minister will pass a resolution allowing the implementation of the Ayushman Bharat scheme in the state.
“The Trinamool Congress government here had deprived the people of the state for a long time by not allowing the implementation of the Ayushman Bharat scheme. But those days will be over once the BJP government is in power,” PM Modi said.
He also said that the new BJP government will not only take action against the infiltrators but also against those who helped them settle in West Bengal by providing them with fake identity documents.
