Under the TMC rule, Hindus have turned into second-class citizens in the state: PM Modi
On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a jibe at the grand old party saying that the Congress will get fewer seats than the age of its ‘shehzada’ in the Lok Sabha polls across the country, without mentioning 53-year-old Rahul Gandhi by name.
PM Modi also slammed the “vote bank” politics of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and alleged that the party’s goons are threatening the tormented women of Sandeshkhali, where allegations of sexual abuse against TMC leaders have surfaced, to protect the culprits.
He was addressing an election rally at Barrackpore in North 24 Parganas district.
PM Modi alleged that under the TMC rule, Hindus have turned into second-class citizens in the state and asserted that “as long as Modi is there, no one can repeal the CAA law.”
“All of us have seen what the TMC has done with the sisters and mothers of Sandeshkhali. The TMC goons are now threatening the women in Sandeshkhali as the name of the main culprit is Shajahan Sheikh. TMC is doing everything to protect the culprits of Sandeshkhali,” he said.
Claiming that under the TMC regime, Bengal has turned into a center of corruption and a “cottage industry of bomb-making“, PM Modi said the state’s ruling dispensation has surrendered before the vote bank politics.
“The TMC has surrendered before vote bank politics in Bengal, where you cannot take the name of Shri Ram and neither can celebrate Ram Navami. The Hindus have been turned into second-class citizens in Bengal under the TMC rule,” he said.
Later in another rally in Hooghly, “This time the Congress would get fewer seats than the age of its Shehzada (Rahul Gandhi).” The Congress leader is in his early fifties.
“The TMC also cannot form the government; it can’t do anything in opposition even. The Congress and the Left too can’t form the government. Only the BJP-led NDA can provide you with a stable and strong government,” he said.
Criticizing the “appeasement politics” of the I.N.D.I.A bloc, PM Modi claimed that Congress and its other constituents are making disjointed statements sensing defeat.
