WhatsApp, Insta, FB Went Down For 55 Mins, Vikas Down In Bengal For 55 Yrs: PM Modi At Kharagpur Rally

Known for his quirky analogy while attacking the Opposition, PM Modi connected last night's outage in several social media platforms including Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram with political situation of West Bengal. 

Kolkata: With weeks left for the much-awaited West Bengal Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi once again urged people of the state to bestow their trust and give Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) a chance to form government in the state.

While speaking at Bengal's Kharagpur on Saturday, PM Modi started his speech with countering Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's sustained attacks at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) dubbing it an 'outsider party' and said that "if there is a Bengal party in the true sense, then it is the BJP."

"The father of the Jana Sangh was the son of this Bengal. The BJP's DNA has the ethics, thoughts and values of Ashutosh Mukherjee and Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee. With these features, we want to take Bengal to the next level in terms of development and make the future bright for the people of the state," PM Modi said.

Urging people to vote for the saffron camp, he said that the people of West Bengal have seen the political regimes of all other parties in Bengal, except for the BJP.

However, the most ear-catching part of his speech was when PM Modi connected last night's technical glitch in several social media platforms including Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram with political situation of West Bengal. 

Known for his quirky analogy while attacking the Opposition, PM Modi said that last night, WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram were down for 50-55 minutes which left everyone worried, but here in Bengal, development, belief and dreams of the young people have been down for 50-55 years.

The Prime Minister, who is also one of the star campaigners of the BJP in West Bengal, further said that first it was Congress, then Left parties and now Trinamool Congress (TMC) which has blocked the development of the state.

He also said that people of West Bengal are getting impatient to bring in "ashol poriborton" (real change) to Bengal.
