Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said he remains committed to taking action against corruption, emphasising that those engaged in corruption have two options left - jail or bail. The Prime Minister, while virtually interacting with BJP workers from West Bengal through the NaMo app, said the entire country has witnessed how the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has resorted to violence to stop BJP workers, but the saffron workers fearlessly stood their ground.
PM Modi slammed the TMC and Congress-Left alliance fighting against each other in Bengal polls as a "superficial fight" as all the three parties are the same.
"There is a superficial conflict between the Left, TMC and Congress in Bengal. They are all allies. This is an alliance of the corrupt. Those parties which are friends in other states, act as foes here. Their fight is not against each other, but against the BJP, as the BJP government is acting against their corruption. Let them do whatever they want as Modi will not stop taking action against corruption," he said, as quoted by PTI.
"The corrupt have come together and keep abusing Modi. For these corrupts, there are only two options left - jail or bail," he said. Referring to poll violence, Modi said electoral violence is the biggest challenge in Bengal.
"The biggest challenge in West Bengal elections is electoral violence, but the Election Commission has made arrangements for the security and safety of the people. We all also monitor the events that unfold in West Bengal. We have to reach every voter's house and encourage them to vote fearlessly," he said.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the Election Commission (EC) directed the chief secretaries and directors general of police of all states as well as the heads of central agencies to ensure peaceful and inducement-free Lok Sabha polls and take preemptive measures to address communal tensions based on past experiences.
Recent violence and turmoil in Manipur and its ramifications for the conduct of a peaceful election were also addressed, with the EC urging for swift action to assist internally-displaced persons and ensure their participation in the electoral process, the poll panel said.
In his remarks, Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar said it is the "most important and crucial" meeting that takes place every five years of the election cycle. Kumar told the officials that the EC seeks to deliver "absolutely spotless elections". The EC had convened the meeting to bring all the stakeholders concerned on one platform for a seamless coordination and cooperation among the officials of neighbouring states and Union territories.
Other key issues discussed at the meeting included a diligent deployment of central forces, logistical support for the movement and transportation of the security personnel and identification and monitoring of flashpoints in border areas that might have ramifications for the election process, the poll panel said.
