Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday lashed out at the Trinamool Congress, alleging that the money sent by the Centre for the state’s development is being looted and spent on the TMC cadre.

While addressing a public meeting in Kolkata, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “The BJP believes that until West Bengal develops, the ‘yatra’ of ‘Viksit Bharat’ will not be successful…In the past 11 years, the central government has extended every possible help for the development of West Bengal…The money that the central government sends for the development of the state is being looted and is spent on the TMC cadre.”

The prime Minister said, “The atrocities against women in the state have increased. Crime and corruption have become the identity of the TMC government. Till the TMC is in power in the state, there will be no development…The real change will only come when the TMC is removed from power…Criminals and corrupt should be in jail, not in power.”

He said, “We have seen that even when the Chief Minister is in jail, they run the government. This is a disrespect to the Constitution and democracy. I cannot see this happening… Whether it is a minister, Chief Minister or Prime Minister, everyone comes under the purview of this stringent law… TMC leaders tried to tear this bill apart in Parliament… They protect the corrupt.”

Modi said, “I have come at a time when preparations for Durga Puja have begun… From Bada Bazar to Park Street, Kolkata is busy preparing and decorating for this festival. When the festival of development is also added to this festival of happiness and faith, the happiness doubles.”
