At a rally in Singur, PM Modi slammed Mamata Banerjee’s TMC, calling 15 years of rule a “mahajungle raj” and urging voters to embrace ‘poriborton’. Could the BJP end TMC’s dominance in West Bengal this election?
PM Modi targets Mamata Banerjee ahead of West Bengal assembly elections
Singur: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC), saying the time has come to end 15 years of what he called the party’s “mahajungle raj” in West Bengal. Addressing a poll rally in Hooghly district’s Singur, Modi said the people of the state are demanding “poriborton” (change) and want to remove the TMC from power.
Modi alleged that the TMC has acted against the interests of youth, women, farmers, and fishermen, claiming that only the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) can accelerate development in West Bengal. He accused the TMC of blocking the implementation of central government schemes and said the party’s enmity is being taken out on the people of Bengal rather than on the BJP.

“A very large number of mothers, sisters, and farmers have come. Everyone wants real change and an end to the 15-year mega-jungle raj. The BJP has stopped the jungle raj in Bihar, and now West Bengal is ready to bid farewell to TMC’s mahajungle raj,” he said.
The Prime Minister highlighted steps taken by his government for West Bengal, including granting classical language status to Bengali and getting Durga Puja recognised as cultural heritage by UNESCO. He said West Bengal has immense potential due to its rivers, coastlines, fertile land, and unique resources in each district, which the BJP aims to further develop.
Modi also alleged that the TMC is supporting infiltration along the borders, citing lack of cooperation with the Centre in providing land for fencing. He accused the TMC of creating documents for infiltrators and reiterated that the party does not allow central schemes to reach the people effectively.
The Prime Minister urged voters to support the BJP in the upcoming West Bengal Legislative Assembly elections, likely to be held in March or April 2026, alongside elections in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam, and Puducherry. He drew parallels with Delhi, noting that the removal of the previous government there and the establishment of a “double-engine government” allowed central schemes to be implemented successfully.
Modi’s address was part of the BJP’s intensified campaign as the state braces for the next round of assembly elections, with development, governance, and alleged TMC misrule taking center stage in political discourse.
