“The people of West Bengal have given Congress, Left and TMC 70 years. But these parties didn’t fulfil people’s aspirations. Presently, TMC is breaking all previous records of harassment and corruption,” the Prime Minister tweeted.
The Prime Minister on Saturday also addressed a mega rally in Kharagpur on Saturday and said if the BJP comes to power, it will undo the destruction and ruin brought about by the previous regimes in the past decades.
Before this, the Prime Minister had addressed a rally in Purulia where he accused the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress government of crime, violence and corruption.
While the Prime Minister is campaigning to end Trinamool’s 10-year rule in the state, Mamata Banerjee seeks to retain power for her third consecutive tenure.
