Change is going to happen across the whole of Bengal.”   Watch ‘Law Will Rule Bengal Again’: PM Modi Announces 6 Guarantees, Sharpens Attack On Mamata Govt He added that “the exit of this ruthless government is certain,” launching a sharp attack on the ruling Trinamool Congress.”The TMC is dragging Bengal down,” he alleged, claiming that corruption and criminal protection have become entrenched in the system. He further alleged that illegal activities such as cattle smuggling have flourished under the current dispensation.The six guaranteesOutlining his guarantees, PM Modi said the BJP would ensure strict implementation of law and accountability if voted to power:A BJP government will replace the prevailing atmosphere of fear with trust and restore faith in the rule of law.The administrative machinery will be fully accountable — fully answerable — to the public it serves.All files regarding every scam, every act of corruption, every injustice committed against daughters, and every case of rape will be reopened.Whoever has engaged in corruption under the TMC regime belongs in jail. “Be it a minister or a watchman, the law will hold everyone to account. No TMC goon will be able to evade the law any longer.”Refugees will be granted every right and privilege guaranteed by the Constitution, while infiltrators will be driven out and not permitted to remain in India.The 7th Pay Commission will be implemented immediately upon the formation of a BJP government.’Double-engine government’ for BengalPM Modi emphasised that West Bengal’s best interest lies in the Prime Minister and Chief Minister working together, making a “double-engine government” essential for the state.”Bengal’s best interest does not lie in animosity towards the Prime Minister; rather, the people stand to gain the most if both the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister work together.

However, they have a problem with it because it carries the ‘PM’ tag,” he said.”TMC leaders may hate me, but in that hatred, they haven’t even spared the word ‘PM’,” PM Modi added.Polling for the 294-member West Bengal Assembly will be held in two phases on April 23 and April 29, with counting scheduled for May 4.
