Talk of Big Dreams for Bengal

Concern over Employment Situation in Bengal

Targeting the current government of West Bengal, the Prime Minister said that the TMC government has become the biggest obstacle in the development of Bengal. He said that unless this wall is broken, Bengal will not be able to move forward in the race for development.
In his address, PM made an emotional appeal, “Today I have come to assure you that the situation in Bengal can be changed. After the formation of the BJP government, Bengal can be included among the top industrial states of the country in a few years. This is my firm belief.”
