PM Modi Warns National Security Threat Over Siliguri Corridor, Accuses TMC's ‘Tukde Tukde’ Politics
In a high-voltage rally in Siliguri, Prime Minister Narendra Modi sharpened his attack on the Trinamool Congress, bringing national security into the heart of Bengal’s election campaign. Referring to the crucial Siliguri Corridor, Modi alleged that the TMC had taken a soft stance towards forces that once threatened to sever the Northeast from the rest of India. The remarks have escalated the political discourse, turning a regional election into a debate over national integrity. The Trinamool Congress has rejected the allegations, arguing that the term “tukde-tukde gang” is used loosely against political opponents. But the messaging is clear — the BJP is positioning security as a central poll issue. With the corridor’s strategic importance and proximity to international borders, the stakes are now higher, and the rhetoric sharper, as Bengal heads into a decisive electoral battle.
