Punish them' for ruining Bengal, Modi urges voters

BASIRHAT/HOWRAH: Prime Minister Narendra Modi continued his scathing two-pronged attack on Mamata Banerjee and Congress-Left combine as he spoke in two public rallies at Basirhat and Howrah on Thursday . He focussed on the fact that Bengal invariably sees poll violence every time the state goes to polls and in the end of the polls, the state is left to count its dead.
Modi sported a gamcha, a local weave of Basirhat and showered praises on the constituency that has given the party its only MLA --Shamik Bhattacharya -in the state in the previous bye-polls. The PM reminded people that he gifted a a polytechnic college to the constituency that Mamata was calling her own. Modi sounded cautious while treading on the Bangladeshi migrant issue as the place riddled with the problem of illegal migrants and fake notes.
Modi weaved the SaradaNarada and Vivekananda flyover issues and said, "The same TMC faces can be seen in all the three tragedies. It shows how the party is riddled with corruption. Why is Didi quiet now? She was the one who used to run from pillar to post trying to hold bhrashtachar by its horns? why is there a Poriborton in you, Didi?" He challenged Mamata at Howrah Golmohur ground sa ying, "Why did you give a ticket to contest polls to your tainted party men? Do you take Begal crowd for fools? People know who you are, Didi."
He lashed out at Trinamool, calling out to voters to "punish them". "The people who started the Vivekananda Road flyover and those who were trying to end it are both tainted. You have tasted the Congress, Left and Trinamool. You have seen what they really are, now you should banish them," Modi said. He stressed that all the three parties are trying to foil the development of the country by opposing BJP at the Rajya Sabha where the party does not enjoy a majority like it does in the Lok Sabha.
Taunting the CongressLeft alliance in the state, Modi said that while they are fighting it out in Kerala, they are trying to fool people in Bengal by joining hands. "Can anything be more false than this?" Modi asked poignantly.
