Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched a scathing attack against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, calling the violence in Murshidabad and Malda a symbol of her government's "cruelty and indifference."

PM Modi said Bengal is plagued by violence, corruption and lawlessness, and asserted that people are now yearning for change from the Nirmam sarkar.

Addressing a rally in Alipurduar, Modi said the incidents of communal violence in Murshidabad and Malda are grim reminders of the TMC regime's cruelty and indifference to the sufferings of ordinary citizens.

"Today, West Bengal is grappling with a series of crises. People don't want 'Nirmam Sarkar'. They want change and good governance. That is why the whole of Bengal is saying they don't want cruelty and corruption anymore," Modi said.

The ruling TMC is already under fire following a fact-finding report by a Calcutta High Court-appointed committee, which blamed local leaders, including an MLA and a councillor, for the communal riots in Murshidabad set off by anti-Waqf law protests. 

The report also slammed the Bengal Police for remaining inactive during the violence.

"First is the widespread violence and lawlessness that are tearing apart the fabric of society. Second is the growing sense of insecurity among mothers and sisters, compounded by horrific crimes committed against them," the PM said.
