Key Takeaways
New Delhi, April 12 (NationPress) On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi showcased his vibrant roadshow in Siliguri, emphasizing the overwhelming public support he garnered during his campaign in West Bengal as the Assembly elections approach.
In a post on X, PM Modi stated, “15 kms of unmatched affection! Here’s a look at the highlights from Siliguri. A BJP government will tackle local development concerns while simultaneously creating new opportunities for the youth of West Bengal.”
The day prior, the Prime Minister conducted campaign rallies in various districts, contributing to the vigorous election campaign in the state. These events are part of a larger political effort leading up to the two-phase West Bengal Assembly elections scheduled for later this month.
After a full day of campaigning, PM Modi engaged in an impressive roadshow at Bagdogra in the Darjeeling district on Saturday evening. As his convoy progressed, thousands of supporters gathered along the route, chanting slogans such as “Modi-Modi” and “Jai Shree Ram”, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
Initially, the Prime Minister was seen sitting in the front seat of his vehicle next to the driver, waving to the enthusiastic crowd. Subsequently, he leaned out of the vehicle window, greeting supporters while brandishing a replica of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) election symbol, the lotus. His direct engagement with the crowd amplified the enthusiasm, resulting in louder slogans as the convoy moved forward.
On Saturday, PM Modi addressed three separate rallies—at Katwa in East Burdwan district, Jangipur, and Kushmandi—where he promoted the BJP’s development agenda and campaign commitments. He urged the citizens of the state to replace the Trinamool Congress regime, which he accused of deceiving them for the past 15 years. “...I want to ask you, with no development in the state for the last 15 years, how can you expect progress if you grant the Trinamool Congress another five years? The last 15 years have seen a model of corruption and terror. It’s time to change this regime that has ruled on deceit for too long. Give us a chance for five years.”
This vigorous campaign effort precedes the two-phase West Bengal Assembly elections on April 23 and April 29, with vote counting set for May 4.
