Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a fierce critique of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), accusing the party of failing to implement the Centre's welfare initiatives while expressing confidence in the BJP's success in the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections. During a public rally in Malda, West Bengal, PM Modi labeled the TMC as "insensitive and ruthless" and accused them of "looting" funds provided by the Central Government.

Emphasizing the need to address illegal immigration, he drew parallels with developed nations, asserting that such actions are necessary for West Bengal. The Prime Minister stated, "I want every poor household in Bengal to have its own permanent home and receive the benefits of Central Government welfare schemes. This is not happening due to the TMC government's insensitivity."

Citing BJP victories in regions like Odisha, Tripura, Assam, and Bihar, Modi claimed that Eastern India is favoring the BJP over parties indulging in "divisive politics." He added that West Bengal is poised for positive governance changes, as political tensions rise with the state moving towards elections. Modi also inaugurated India's first Vande Bharat sleeper train from Malda, underscoring BJP's development agenda.
