PM Modi Slams Mamata Govt in Bengal Over Riots, Recruitment Scam

Kolkata : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the “ruthless” Trinamool Congress (TMC) government in West Bengal by bringing up the recent riots that broke out in the state, the teacher recruitment scam, and corruption. He made the remarks while addressing a rally at Alipurduar.

“The ruthless character of this government was seen in the Murshidabad and Malda riots, where a ruling party MLA led the riots. They ransacked the assets of our mothers and sisters, and the police remained mute spectators. One can assume what happened there during the riots,” Modi said.

PM Modi also mentioned the alleged corruption in the recruitment of school teachers, where the Supreme Court had invalidated the appointments of 25,753 teaching and non-teaching staff of state-aided schools, saying the hiring process was “vitiated and tainted”.

“We saw the level of corruption of this government in the teacher recruitment examination. They sent the lives of young teachers to unlimited darkness. They are not even ready to accept their faults. They are blaming the court for their verdict,” Modi said.

Identifying five “dangers” in the state, he said, “Bangla is plagued by many problems. One, society’s violence and anarchy. Two, mothers’ and sisters’ insecurities…they are facing heinous crimes. Three, unemployment is increasing. Four, deadly corruption…human faith in the administration is diminishing. Five is the selfish attitude of the rulers who are snatching the rights of the poor.”

With Assembly elections scheduled to be held in the state next year, PM Modi sounded the poll bugle, asking, “Will the government go like this? Banglar matir chitkar, chaina ar nirmam sarkar (The soil of Bengal is crying, we don’t want a ruthless government).”

On his first visit to the state after Operation Sindoor, PM Modi referred to India’s military campaign following the Pahalgam terrorist attack, saying, “From this land of Bengal, I declare on behalf of 140 crore Indians that Operation Sindoor is not yet over.”

“There was a lot of anger in West Bengal too after the barbarity committed by terrorists in Pahalgam on April 22. I understood very well the anger that was within you. The terrorists had the audacity to wipe away the sindoor (vermilion) of our sisters. Our Army made them realise the power of sindoor,” he said.

“Terrorists had dared to wipe out the sindoor of our sisters, but our forces made them realise the strength of sindoor,” he said, drawing loud cheers from the crowd. He then said, “We destroyed cross-border terror infrastructure, which Pakistan never thought of.”

On Thursday, Modi laid the foundation stone for the City Gas Distribution project in Alipurduar and Cooch Behar districts, marking a major push toward clean energy infrastructure in the region.
