5 Guarantees Of PM Modi To Citizens Of West Bengal

At a rally in Barrackpore for BJP candidate Arjun Singh, Modi gave five “guarantees” to Bengalis.

“I want to give five guarantees to the people of Bengal. Nobody can give reservations based on religion. Reservations for SCs, STs, and OBCs will not be touched. Nobody can stop you from celebrating Ram Navami. The Supreme Court judgment on Ram Mandir will not be quashed. Nobody can stop the implementation of CAA,” he said.

PM Modi Slams The Opposition

Modi slammed the Opposition and said they had made CAA a "villain". It is to provide citizenship.

“Vote bank politics has presented a law like CAA, which protects humanity, But opposition made it a villain. CAA is a law to give citizenship to the victims. It does not take away anyone’s citizenship. But parties like Congress, TMC painted it with the colour of their lies,” he said.

The Prime Minister alleged the infiltrators are flourishing under the protection of TMC in the state.

“There was a time when many scientific discoveries were taking place in Bengal, today under the rule of TMC, the home industry of making bombs is running in many places. There was a time when Bengal used to revolt against the infiltrators, but today the infiltrators are flourishing here under the protection of TMC,” he said.

PM Modi Highlights Sandeshkahli Incident

Modi continued his attack on the state government and highlighted the Sandeshkhali incident saying goons of TMC are threatening the women of Sandeshkhali.

Mentioning the Bengal teacher's recruitment case, Modi said the money TMC extorted from people would be lawfully returned.

“Modi will not let the corrupt leaders sit peacefully. They will be reprimanded! No corrupt leader will be spared. The money that TMC extorted from you will be lawfully given back to you,” he said.
