Attacks on TMC, Congress
While in Bengal, Prime Minister Modi wasted no opportunity to criticise the TMC. He praised the state's rich history and accused the opposition of impeding West Bengal's development.
“There was a time when Bengal was the driver of India's development. Be it social reforms, scientific advancements, philosophical advancements, spiritual advancements, and even sacrificing life for the country. There was no sphere of life which was not led by Bengal. But first the Left, and then TMC rule, sabotaged the greatness and respect of this state and even stopped development,” he said.
Modi accused the TMC leaders of looting the money sent by the Centre, citing their opposition to central projects in Bengal.
"The money that I send from the Centre to the Bengal government for its development is syphoned off by TMC leaders, ministers, and tolabaz (extortionists)," he said.
Attacking the Congress and TMC, two parties that are a part of the INDIA bloc that was created on the grounds of "anti-Modi," he claimed that they appear to be running for the Lok Sabha elections in West Bengal separately. In spite of their alliance, they are competing with one another, especially when it comes to winning over votes from particular communities by using appeasement politics.
"The Congress wants to grab your properties and the TMC hasn't spoken a single word against it. They are competing with each other for appeasement and attempts to win over a certain community or vote bank. While the TMC government has worked to grant permanent residency to infiltrators from Bangladesh, the Congress is talking about redistributing your assets among a certain vote bank," PM Modi added.

TMC 'synonymous to Scams’, says PM Modi

The prime minister also attacked the party for axing about 26,000 jobs that were ordered by a high court decision, emphasizing the negative effects that the party's culture of corruption, which has come to be associated with it, has had on West Bengal's youth. There is only one thing under TMC rule: scams worth thousands of crores. The culprit is TMC, but the entire state is forced to pay for its deception and scams.
"The teacher recruitment scam" snatched the livelihood of around 26,000 families. The youth who took loans to pay bribes to the TMC leaders are now burdened by this situation too. The Centre is working towards generating jobs for the youth of the country," he said.
Sandeshkhali, Triple Talak

Declaring that the Citizenship (Amendment) Act "is about granting citizenship and not snatching it," Modi took aim at the Congress and the TMC for allegedly spreading rumours about the law.
"The Congress and the TMC to appease their vote-bank politics are opposing the CAA. Why are they opposing Hindu, Sikh, and Buddhist refugees, who were forced to leave their land due to religious persecution, from getting citizenship? The CAA is about granting citizenship and not snatching it," he said.
