"Modi kahta hai har ghar jal, TMC kahti hai har ghar bomb": PM Modi in Hooghly
Hooghly: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday slammed Trinamool Congress and asserted that TMC is raising the slogan of 'Break in India' to counter Centre's 'Make in India' initiative adding that "Modi advocates for 'Har Ghar Jal', while TMC advocates for 'Har Ghar Bomb' scheme."
Addressing a public meeting in Hooghly, PM Modi said that TMC is destroying the society, law and order, and unity in India.
"Amid BJP's efforts of development, TMC is busy in its 'own work'. What is the work of TMC and its leaders? 'Yaha mafia raj chal rha hai. Modi kahta hai har ghar jal, TMC kahti hai, har ghar bomb'. Just a few days ago, a bomb exploded, snatching away children's lives. Life has become difficult for mothers, sisters, and daughters here. Today BJP is emphasizing 'Make in India', but TMC is raising the slogan of 'Break in India'. TMC is dividing the society, TMC is breaking the law, TMC is breaking the unity," PM Modi said.
He further said that TMC goons threatening women in Sandeshkhali to protect culprits.
"TMC is destroying the society, law and order, and unity in India. Parties like TMC don't care about your faith; they only care about appeasing. Hungry for power and afraid of losing their vote bank, they resent the construction of the Ram Mandir.
The Prime Minister further asserted that Congress will get fewer seats than the age of Congress.
"Keep it in writing, Congress will get fewer seats than the age of Congress' 'Shehzada'. Whoever is elder in our families wishes to leave something for the children. Who is Modi's heir? All of you. That's why I want to build a Viksit Bharat for your children. Contrastingly, TMC focuses solely on looting you, and building mansions for their heirs. What is Modi doing? Building solid homes for the poor, implementing the Swachh Bharat Mission, providing free rations, and making life easier for his sisters and daughters. Today, millions of women have affordable LPG cylinders through Ujjwala Yojana," he said.
He further said that Congress and TMC are angry with the construction of the Ram Temple.
"This land draws inspiration from the personalities of Ram Krishna Paramahansa and Lahiri Mahasaya, but parties like Congress and TMC, in their insistence on appeasement, do not even care about your feelings. These parties are so hungry for votes, and power and are so dominated by their vote bank that they are very angry even with the construction of the Ram Temple. They (Congress-TMC) lost their sleep after the construction of Ram Mandir. These people have boycotted the Ram Mandir as well. The souls of our ancestors who struggled for 500 years to get the Ram Mandir are watching your deeds. TMC Congress people, at least do not insult the sacrifice, penance and sacrifice of your ancestors. Boycotting Lord Ram is not the culture of Bengal," he said.
Highlighting the central government PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, he said that the government is providing Rs 75,000 for putting up solar panels on the rooftop.
"I have come here with a scheme PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. Online registration has started. Modi government will give you 75,000 rupees for putting up solar panels on the rooftop. You can use the electricity and the remaining can be sold. It is like double income. There is also a possibility of triple income. You can also use it for charging Electric Vehicles. It will allow you free transportation," he asserted.
The Prime Minister further said that the central government is making consistent efforts to develop port infrastructure in Bengal.
"Bengal has the country's first Underwater Metro. We are making consistent efforts to develop port infrastructure here. But TMC tries to hinder the process time and again. You must teach TMC a lesson! Your one vote has the power to end the misrule of TMC," the PM said.
PM Modi said that the 2024 Lok Sabha elections are a fight between "ideologies."
"I am honoured to see the faces of my mothers and sisters in this crowd who have come here in huge numbers to bless me. The 2024 election is a fight between ideologies. The trust, support, and blessings of this country are with the BJP," he said.
Voting will take place for eight Lok Sabha seats of West Bengal in the fourth phase of voting to be held on May 13. The constituencies are Baharampur, Krishnanagar, Ranaghat, Bardhaman Purba, Burdwan-Durgapur, Asansol, Bolpur and Birbhum.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP came up with a much-improved showing by winning 18 seats against the TMC's 22. The Congress's tally dropped to just 2 seats, while the Left scored a blank.
