Prime Minister Narendra Modi pulled no punches in a fiery election rally held in Bolpur, West Bengal, where he launched a scathing attack on both the INDI alliance and the Trinamool Congress (TMC), accusing them of pervasive corruption and involvement in various scams during their respective tenures.
Addressing a massive crowd of supporters, PM Modi asserted, “In their 10 years of governance, the INDI alliance did nothing but scams and corruption.” He then proceeded to enumerate a series of scandals that have tarnished the reputation of the INDI alliance, including the infamous 2G scam, submarine and helicopter scam, and the Commonwealth Games (CWG) scam.
PM Modi didn’t spare the TMC either, alleging that they were following a similar trajectory of corruption. “TMC is also on the same path, they are indulging in scams in unimaginable ways,” he declared, pointing out a litany of alleged scams under the TMC’s administration, such as the ration scam, recruitment scam, coal scam, and animal trafficking scam.
According to PM Modi, these scams were not mere isolated incidents but large-scale operations worth hundreds of crores, which have deeply affected the state’s governance and development.
His accusations come at a crucial juncture as West Bengal braces itself for the upcoming elections, with corruption emerging as a central theme in the political discourse.
The rally in Bolpur forms a crucial part of PM Modi’s election campaign in West Bengal, where he is seeking to galvanize support for his party. The allegations of corruption are likely to reverberate across the political landscape as the elections draw nearer.
As of now, there has been no response from representatives of the INDI alliance and the TMC regarding PM Modi’s allegations. However, these accusations are expected to intensify the political discourse in West Bengal, setting the stage for a fiercely contested electoral battle.
