In a rally on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi characterized the forthcoming West Bengal assembly elections as a crucial fight to preserve the state's identity. According to Modi, the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) is more concerned with infiltrators than the native Bengali populace.
Addressing supporters in Jhargram, a tribal-dominated area, Modi alleged that the TMC intends to establish a government of and for infiltrators, overshadowing the cultural and social fabric of Bengal. He painted the current situation as a dangerous trajectory for the state's future.
Modi's rhetoric was sharp, accusing the TMC of rampant corruption and turning a blind eye to local grievances, including illegal land occupations. The assembly elections will take place in two phases, with Jhargram scheduled to vote on April 23.
