NEW DELHI, Apr 24: Hitting out at the Mamata government in West Bengal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday warned that Trinamool Congress (TMC) goons would find no place to hide and no one to save them after the results of the West Bengal Assembly elections are declared on May 4. He added that the first-phase voting had sounded the death knell for the TMC's reign of "jungle rule" in the state.
Addressing a public rally in Dum Dum assembly constituency, PM Modi said, " Last night, TMC was empowering their goons all night long. I say to the people of Bengal, BJP workers, and the public: Do not forget that this is the land of revolution, this is the land of the brave. After the results come on May 4, the TMC's goons will find no place to hide, no one to save them. Yesterday's first-phase voting has sounded the death knell for the TMC's reign of jungle rule."
In his speech during the rally, PM Modi described the mother of the RG Kar rape-murder victim as a symbol of justice. Notably, the BJP has fielded the mother of the RG Kar victim from the Panihati Assembly constituency against Trinamool Congress candidate Tirthankar Ghosh.
The RG Kar incident refers to the August 2024 rape and murder of a 31 year old trainee doctor inside R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, which triggered nationwide protests over women's safety and hospital security.
Accusing the TMC of being an anti-women party, PM Modi said the BJP would not allow anyone to trample the dreams of Bengal's daughters if voted to power. He added that women's safety would be the party's priority.
"TMC does not want women to dream. Today, I assure every daughter of Bengal that the BJP will not allow anyone to trample their dreams. I assure you that the safety of women will be our priority," he said.
PM Modi also promised to reopen investigations into all cases of atrocities against women. �"Z NEWS
