"The road to oust the corrupt TMC government from West Bengal will open from the Lok Sabha polls," PM said.

Highlighting the challenges faced by mothers and sisters across the country, Modi pointed out the importance of basic amenities such as sanitation, free electricity, bank accounts, and tap water to improve their quality of life. He criticised the Left Front and TMC governments for neglecting the basic needs of the people of West Bengal.

"I have seen mothers of our country struggling for basic amenities. That is why I stress on sanitisation, free electricity, bank accounts and tap water to make the lives of our mothers and sisters easier. But here, first, the Left Front and then the TMC government have ignored the basic needs of the people of the state," he said.

Modi accused the TMC of plundering the state and perpetrating corruption by fabricating job cards to embezzle central funds allocated under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA).
