Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday lashed out at the Trinamool Congress, alleging that the money sent by the Centre for the state’s development is being looted and spent on the TMC cadre.
While addressing a public meeting in Kolkata, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “The BJP believes that until West Bengal develops, the ‘yatra’ of ‘Viksit Bharat’ will not be successful…In the past 11 years, the central government has extended every possible help for the development of West Bengal…The money that the central government sends for the development of the state is being looted and is spent on the TMC cadre.”

I cannot see this happening… Whether it is a minister, Chief Minister or Prime Minister, everyone comes under the purview of this stringent law… TMC leaders tried to tear this bill apart in Parliament… They protect the corrupt.”
