“Modi does not have to do anything for himself. Neither do I have to do anything for any of my nephews nor do I have to leave anything for any brother. I have to work for the people living in the forests of Bankura. I have to leave a developed India as a legacy for the children of poor, Dalit and tribals, so I have come to seek your blessings for the third time,” PM Modi said while addressing an election rally in Bishnupur.
Further in his speech, PM Modi also lashed out at the TMC and said that the party has not even spared the children of the state in its hunger for money.
“TMC has not even spared your children in its hunger for money. Here the ‘teacher recruitment scam’ has put the future of the youth as well as the coming generations at stake. Poor parents sold their houses and lands, took loans and bribed their (TMC) ministers. Today all those youth are on the streets,” he said.
“What was their fault after all? I guarantee you all, they have got your houses sold, Modi is going to get the bungalows of the corrupt TMC people, their cars, everything sold,” he added.
The Prime Minister also hit out at the INDIA bloc, including TMC, the Left and the Congress and said that they look like three different parties, but their sins are the same.
“They have always given slogans to the poor, labourers, SCs and STs, but wherever they ran the government, they left those states poor and West Bengal is an example of this,” he said.
