Prime Minister Narendra Modi has turned up the heat in the Bengal election battle with a direct attack on the TMC’s governance model. Calling out the alleged “syndicate system,” Modi promised to replace it with transparency and strict enforcement of law. He announced that a BJP government would release a detailed White Paper on corruption and set up a high-level probe into political violence in the state. The Prime Minister also flagged infiltration as a key issue, warning that both illegal entrants and those who facilitated them would be held accountable. At the same time, he sought to expand the BJP’s voter base with promises of financial assistance for women, benefits for farmers, and job creation for youth. As the campaign reaches a crucial phase, the political contest is becoming sharper, with governance and security emerging as central themes.
