Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the Trinamool Congress (TMC) during a rally in West Bengal’s Jalpaiguri, accusing the party of obstructing the functioning of central investigative agencies when they probe corruption cases. Modi’s remarks came as part of his election campaign ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.
Speaking at the rally, PM Modi accused the TMC-led government in West Bengal of impeding the work of central investigative agencies when they conduct inquiries into corruption cases. Following the attack on NIA officers in Bhupatinagar on Saturday, he remarked, “TMC attacks central agencies when they come to investigate corruption cases.”
PM Modi criticised the TMC government’s approach to governance, alleging that it was hindering the implementation of welfare schemes initiated by the central government for the benefit of the poor. He emphasised the importance of a strong central government for fostering trust in the country, stating, “Stronger the central govt, stronger the world’s trust in our country.”
Citing the alleged sexual harassment cases in Sandeshkhali, he remarked, “The country knows about the atrocities inflicted on mothers and sisters (in Sandeshkhali). The country saw it. The court itself has to intervene in everything here. The TMC syndicate rules here.”
