We will start new journey of ‘Viksit Bengal’ with your vote on June 1
Urging people to vote in large numbers in the last phase of Lok Sabha 2024 Elections 2024, PM Modi promised the public to begin a new journey of ‘Viksit Bengal’. At the rally, he also mentioned the ‘fake certificate scam’ which took place under Mamata Banerjee’s government in the state.
“For appeasement, TMC is attacking the Constitution. By snatching away the rights of OBCs, reservations are being given to Muslims. Calcutta HC has cancelled these certificates…On June 1, with your vote, we will start the new journey of ‘Viksit Bengal’. Today, infiltrators are grabbing the opportunities meant for the youth of Bengal. The whole nation is worried that the demography has changed in border areas of the state. Why did they protest against CAA? Because they want to settle the infiltrators here,” ANI quoted Modi at the rally.

Later, he also assured Matua community members of Indian citizenship. In another rally in West Bengal’s Mathurapur on Wednesday, Modi claimed that the election is led by the people of India from “Kashmir to Kanyakumari” as they have seen the development journey of the past 10 years against the “60 years of misery,” as shown in ANI video shared on X.
