Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a stitching attack on Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress over the Sandeshkhali issue on Friday, March 1, during his public rally at Arambagh.
While addressing a public rally in West Bengal ahead of Lok Sabha Elections, PM Modi said, "Every injury's answer is to be given through voting." He said the soul of Raja Ram Mohan Roy (social reformer) must have been pained by what happened in Sandeshkhali.
"The country is seeing what TMC has done with the sisters of Sandeshkhali. The whole country is enraged. The soul of Raja Ram Mohan Roy (social reformer) must have been pained by what happened in Sandeshkhali. A TMC leader crossed all limits...The BJP leaders in the state fought for the respect and dignity of the women here. Yesterday, the police had to arrest him (TMC leader Sheikh Shahjahan)," said the Prime Minister at a public rally. He further said that the TMC government in West Bengal is the big hurdle in empowering poor farmers, youth and women.
