‘Centre sends money, but it goes into the pockets of TMC leaders,’ says PM Modi in Siliguri

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a sharp attack on the Trinamool Congress during an election rally in West Bengal, accusing the ruling party of diverting central funds meant for public welfare. He alleged that money sent by the Centre for development projects was not reaching the people but was instead “going into the pockets of Trinamool leaders.”

Modi said that if the Bharatiya Janata Party forms the government in the state, it will dismantle what he called the “syndicate system” and replace it with a transparent tendering process. He also promised a major overhaul of the police administration to restore law and order and prevent incidents like the Katwa Blast. The Prime Minister asserted that the upcoming elections would mark the end of what he described as a “rule of fear” under the current government. He said a probe into political violence in the state would be carried out by a retired judge to ensure impartiality and accountability.

Reiterating his campaign message, Modi said the enthusiasm witnessed during his recent roadshow indicated a strong desire for change. He expressed confidence that voters would reject fear and corruption and usher in a new era of governance focused on development and transparency.
