Hailing the saffron party, PM Modi asserted that BJP will ensure emplyement and over-all development in Bengal. "will work for such a 'Sonar Bangla' which will strengthen Bengal's history and culture. A Bengal where faith, spirituality, & enterprise will be respected; where development will be for all & appeasement of none. A Bengal which will be 'tolabaji-mukt' & 'rojgar-yukt," PM Modi said.

BJP government should be formed not just for political 'poribartan' (political change), but 'asol poribartan' (real change) in Bengal.

PM Modi countered TMC’s poll slogans - ‘Bangla Nijer Meykei Chaye’ which translates to Bengal wants its own daughter Mamata. Taking a jibe at their poll campaign, PM Modi said, "Out of 1-1.75 crore houses (in WB), only 9 lakh have water pipeline. The way state govt works, no wonder how many more years it'll take to deliver water to the poor. This shows that TMC doing injustice to 'Bengal Ki Beti'. Can they be forgiven?" (Image Courtesy: PTI)

Failure to keep the place of the creator of such 'amar gaan' in a good state is an injustice to West Bengal's pride & there is huge politics involved in this -- the politics which focuses on vote bank, not patriotism; appeasement, not Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas: PM Modi (Image Courtesy: PTI)

Training guns at the Mamata-led TMC government, P Modi further said, "I am told that Vande Mataram Bhawan, where Bankim Chandra Ji lived for 5 years, is in very bad condition. This is the same Bhawan where he brainstormed to write Vande Mataram, the poem which gave a new lease of life to the freedom struggle." (Image Courtesy: PTI)

On ‘blocking Central schemes’, PM Modi said, "Centre transfers money directly into bank accounts of farmers & poor. But monetary benefits of schemes of Bengal Govt does not reach the poor without the consent of all the 'tolabaaz' of TMC. This is why TMC leaders are becoming richer & normal families are becoming poorer" (Image Courtesy: PTI)

Prime Minister annoucned BJP's plan for rail development in the state. "This year 'rail & metro' connectivity is Centre's priority. Such work should've been done decades back & now, we should not delay- from broadening of rail lines to electrification work, money being invested in infrastructure projects," PM said.
