PM Modi to address public rally in Bengal
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be on a visit to West Bengal on Saturday, where he will inaugurate several development projects and address a public meeting. This visit comes at a time when the political temperature in Bengal is high over the issue of the intensive scrutiny of the electoral roll.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Nadia district of West Bengal on Saturday. This will be the Prime Minister's first visit to the state since the draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) was published, and his third visit in the last five months.
Political analysts believe that the Prime Minister will try to address the growing anxiety among the Matua community regarding the NRC through this rally. He may also sound the poll bugle for the assembly elections scheduled for early next year.
In a social media post on Friday evening, PM Modi wrote, "The people of West Bengal are benefiting from several pro-people initiatives of the central government. At the same time, they are suffering due to the misgovernance of the TMC in every sector."
The Prime Minister wrote, "The TMC's corruption and intimidation have crossed all limits. That is why people have hope in the BJP." This visit comes at a time when the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress is continuously opposing the NRC.
The TMC alleges that the NRC process is being conducted in a "hasty" manner and that it could disenfranchise a large number of people, especially Hindu refugees.
