On Sunday (12th April), Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public meeting in Siliguri in West Bengal. He vowed to free the State from the corruption and political violence of the Mamata-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) government and put a check on the illegal immigration of Bangladeshis.
“I have given a guarantee to free Bengal from infiltration and corruption and to restore trust in the system and the rule of law. The Bengal BJP has announced that a special commission will be formed to investigate political violence carried out by TMC-linked goons,” he emphasised.
The Indian Prime Minister reiterated, “People in North Bengal, including Siliguri, tell me that land mafias and criminals have made life very difficult for them. In a BJP government, every such mafia and criminal will be sent to jail permanently…”
