PM Modi Campaigns in Malda, Urges Change Ahead of West Bengal Assembly Elections

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a rally in Malda, West Bengal, ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections, urging voters to replace the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He criticized the TMC government for alleged corruption, obstructing central welfare schemes, and failing to address illegal infiltration, which he linked to demographic changes and unrest. Modi highlighted BJP's governance in neighboring states and promised development, job opportunities, and infrastructure projects, including the launch of India's first Vande Bharat sleeper train from Malda. The TMC accused central forces of harassment during Modi's visit, reflecting heightened political tensions in the state.
