Suri, April 9 Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday attacked the ruling Trinamool Congress over alleged lawlessness and accused the ruling party of encouraging infiltration and unleashing "rampant jungle rule".
Addressing an election rally here in the Birbhum district, he alleged that the Trinamool Congress' slogan of "Maa-Mati-Manush" (mother, land, people) has become nothing more than rhetoric.
"The cottage industry has been declining in West Bengal, while the TMC has turned making crude bombs into a cottage industry," Modi said.
The Bogtui massacre of 2022, in which around 10 women and children were burnt alive in the district, is a testament to the TMC's "rampant jungle rule," the Prime Minister asserted.
"Land grabbing by infiltrators under the TMC regime has reached dangerous proportions. Infiltrators are taking the jobs of locals by accepting contract work for less money. They will be deported and their facilitators will be jailed after the BJP comes to power in Bengal," he said.
Modi charged the TMC with insulting the Adivasis, asserting that they have not spared even the country's President, who represents the Dalit community.
Alleging that the TMC has stolen MGNREGA funds, the PM urged the people to vote for the BJP.
"We will implement the VB-G RAM G scheme in Bengal, transferring money directly to beneficiary accounts," he said.
