Prime Minister Narendra Modi escalated his political offensive against the ruling Trinamool Congress during a public rally in Krishnanagar, asserting that the party would struggle to secure victories in several districts in the ongoing West Bengal Assembly elections. Addressing a large gathering ahead of the second phase of polling, he projected strong voter dissatisfaction with the current administration and positioned his party as a credible alternative.
During his speech, Modi introduced a comprehensive “10-point guarantee” focused primarily on improving the welfare of women and children in the state. He assured that crimes against women would be dealt with strictly under a BJP-led government, promising accountability and swift action. As part of strengthening safety measures, he proposed the establishment of dedicated women’s police stations in every block and increased recruitment of women personnel in law enforcement.
The Prime Minister also outlined multiple financial support initiatives. He pledged an annual transfer of approximately $0.04 million to women beneficiaries, along with additional assistance of about $0.05 million for girls completing their graduation. Expectant mothers, he said, would receive financial aid of nearly $0.02 million, while further support of around $0.04 million would be allocated to improve children’s nutrition.
Highlighting long-term security for girls, Modi referred to savings initiatives designed to secure their future. He also emphasized self-employment opportunities, stating that loans of up to $0.24 million would be made accessible under existing schemes to encourage entrepreneurship among women. He added that large numbers of women would be supported in achieving financial independence.
On healthcare, Modi promised free medical treatment coverage of up to $0.06 million for eligible beneficiaries under a national health program. In terms of housing, he assured that homes provided to economically weaker families would be registered in the names of women, strengthening their financial and social standing.
The Prime Minister reiterated that his guarantees reflect a commitment to deliver results, contrasting his vision with what he described as ineffective governance under the current regime. He claimed that a BJP government would replace fear with trust and ensure that administrative systems become more transparent and accountable.
Expanding on his broader agenda, Modi said that pending cases related to corruption and crimes against women would be reopened and investigated thoroughly. He also warned that individuals involved in such activities, regardless of their status, would face legal consequences.
Additionally, he highlighted plans to extend government benefits to refugees under legal provisions while maintaining a firm stance against illegal infiltration. He also promised to implement revised pay structures for state employees, teachers, and associated workers soon after assuming power.
With the next phase of voting approaching, Modi’s address sought to consolidate support by combining welfare commitments with strong political messaging, aiming to influence voter sentiment across the state.
