BJP winning in Bengal would mark the start of a new era of development, PM Modi said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said that Congress Party neglected the Northeast region for decades but the NDA Government has been focusing on connectivity and social empowerment.
"For decades, Congress ignored the Northeast. Since 2016, the NDA Government focussed on connectivity and social empowerment. Thank you Karimganj for the affection!" PM Modi said in a series of tweets a day after addressing a rally in Assam's Karimganj.
The Prime Minister also assured that the new era of development in West Bengal will commence soon as BJP will win the elections in the state.
"BJP winning in West Bengal would mark the start of a new era of development in the state. At the same time, bullying by TMC cadres will stop. Sharing highlights from Purulia," he said.
"Will be in Assam and West Bengal tomorrow and the day after. Tomorrow, March 20, I would be speaking at rallies in Kharagpur (WB) and Chabua (Assam). Will elaborate on BJP's development agenda during my speeches. It is clear both states want to elect NDA in the upcoming polls," he said in another tweet.
Challenging Mamata Banerjee's 'Khela Hobe' slogan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a rally in Purulia on Thursday promised jobs, development and education in the poll-bound state of West Bengal.
PM Modi also shared visuals on his official Twitter handle of his visit to Purulia. "Memorable moments from Purulia," he tweeted.
Elections to the 294-member West Bengal Assembly will be held in eight phases starting from March 27 with the final round of voting taking place on April 29. The counting of votes will take place on May 2.
