Prime Minister Narendra Modi is certain that the BJP would emerge as the greatest gainer in West Bengal, with only a few days remaining until the Lok Sabha election process concludes. He said that Trinamool Congress officials are “frustrated” and that the state’s Lok Sabha poll “is one-sided”.
PM Modi discussed his party’s performance in West Bengal during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and predicted that the party will have the most amount of success in the state in an exclusive chat with ANI.
“In Bengal elections, TMC party is fighting for existence. You must have seen it in the last assembly elections, we had three seats. The people of Bengal took us from three to 80. We got a lot of support in the Lok Sabha in the last elections. This time, the best-performing state in India is going to be West Bengal. BJP is getting most success in West Bengal.”
In 2019, BJP made strong inroads into TMC stronghold in West Bengal, by winning 18 seats and being a close second to the ruling party in the state which won 22 seats.
The Prime Minister also mentioned that these elections in West Bengal are one-sided with the public supporting the BJP, which is creating panic in the Trinamool Congress government.
PM Modi also attacked the Trinamool Congress on the Calcutta High Court’s decision to cancel all OBC certificates issued in West Bengal after 2010. He also slammed Congress accusing it of giving religion-based reservation which is not allowed in the Constitution.
PM Modi referred to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s earlier remarks of not accepting the High Court verdict on OBC certificates and said “they are abusing the judiciary”.
“They have a modus operandi. First, they started the sin of giving it to minorities by making a law in Andhra Pradesh, they lost in the Supreme Court and the High Court rejected it because the Constitution does not allow it. So they cleverly started the game from the back door and these people overnight made all the castes of Muslim as OBCs and they robbed the OBCs of their rights…When the High Court’s judgment came, it became clear that such a big fraud was taking place. But what is even more unfortunate is that for vote bank politics, now they are also abusing the judiciary. And they are even saying that no matter what happens, we are not going to listen to the court. This situation cannot be acceptable under any circumstances,” he said.
Six phases of the Lok Sabha elections are over and the final phase will be held on June 1 in 57 constituencies in eight states and union territories. The results of the elections will be declared on June 4.
