Kolkata, April 19 Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) comes to power in West Bengal after the forthcoming Assembly elections in the state later this month, the new state government will adopt a balanced approach between dole allowances and the financial prudence of generating employment.
“I want to assure the youths of West Bengal that if the BJP comes to power in West Bengal, unemployment allowances and efforts at employment generation will be carried out in a parallel manner. At the same time, those who have played with the future of the youths of West Bengal will not be spared. They will be accounted for,” the Prime Minister said while addressing a campaign rally at Belda in West Midnapore district on Sunday afternoon.
Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister accused the Trinamool Congress of a dichotomy on the reservation issue.
“On one hand, the Trinamool Congress has been opposing the Women’s Reservation (Amendment) Bill. On the other hand, the West Bengal government, led by the Trinamool Congress, is trying to push reservation based on religion.
“They are trying to snatch reservations from OBCs and give reservations to Muslims. This is wrong according to the Indian Constitution and also the courts. Trinamool Congress will have to be punished for this time,” PM Modi said.
Speaking further, the Prime Minister said that constant pampering and nurturing by the Trinamool Congress had made illegal infiltrators reckless in the state.
“In the last 15 years of the Trinamool Congress regime, the number of riots and political murders has increased. The infiltrators have become reckless. The atrocities against mothers and sisters have crossed the line. The situation needs to change for the better this time,” PM Modi said.
He also said that from his own political experience, he is confident that this time the BJP is set to form the government in West Bengal.
“In fact, there will also be some districts where the Trinamool Congress will not get a single MLA. BJP will win in the entire district,” he added.
