PM Modi lists out 5 guarantees to Bengal, says ‘no one can stop CAA implementation’
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (May 12) hit out at West Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress party stating that infiltrators were flourishing under the leadership of the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
He further vowed to the people that no one could stop the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in the state.
While addressing a rally in Barrackpur, PM Modi gave five "guarantees" to the people of West Bengal.
"I want to give five guarantees to the people of Bengal: - Nobody can give reservations based on religion. Reservations for SC, ST, and OBC will not be touched. Nobody can stop you from celebrating Ram Navami. The judgement of the Supreme Court on Ram Mandir will not be quashed. Nobody can stop the implementation of CAA," PM Modi said.
The Indian prime minister further lashed out at the opposition stating that they had projected the CAA as if it was a "villain".
"A law like CAA, which protects humanity, but opposition made it a villain. CAA is a law to give citizenship to the victims, it does not take away anyone's citizenship. But parties like Congress-TMC painted it with the colour of their lies for vote bank politics," he said.
TMC advocating 'Break in India', says PM Modi
PM Modi then hit out at the state government saying that TMC was raising the slogan of 'Break in India' to counter the Centre's 'Make in India' initiative.
He accused the party of destroying 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 raha 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 emphasising '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 said that the goons of the party were threatening the women of Sandeshkhali referring to the infamous incident.
"Goons of TMC are threatening the women of Sandeshkhali only because the culprit's name is Shahjahan Sheikh. They are trying their best to save and protect him from legal action. Don't be afraid of TMC. You must give your full mandate to our candidate; each vote will reach me. Viksit Bengal is crucial for Viksit Bharat," the PM said.
