In a fiery election rally held in Bolpur, West Bengal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a blistering attack on both the INDI alliance and the Trinamool Congress (TMC), leveling accusations of rampant corruption and involvement in various scams during their respective tenures.
Addressing a massive crowd of fervent supporters, PM Modi declared, “In their 10 years of governance, the INDI alliance did nothing but perpetrate scams and corruption.” He proceeded to enumerate a litany of scandals that have marred the INDI alliance’s tenure, including the infamous 2G scam, submarine and helicopter scam, and the Commonwealth Games (CWG) scam.
PM Modi did not spare the TMC either, alleging that they were treading the same path of corruption. “TMC is also on the same path, engaging in scams in unimaginable ways,” he asserted. He highlighted a series of alleged scams under the TMC’s rule, 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 massive operations worth hundreds of crores, which have severely impeded the state’s progress and development.
His accusations come at a crucial juncture as West Bengal braces itself for the upcoming elections, with corruption emerging as a central issue in the political discourse.
The rally in Bolpur forms an integral 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 expected to reverberate across the political spectrum, shaping the narrative in the run-up to the elections.
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 poised to ignite significant political turbulence in West Bengal, setting the stage for a fiercely contested electoral battle.
