Murshidabad, 11th April: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday announced that the Bharatiya Janata Party would implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in West Bengal if voted to power, asserting that it would end what he termed as “politics of appeasement.”
Addressing a rally in Jangipur in Murshidabad district, Modi said the BJP’s election manifesto, released by Amit Shah, outlines a roadmap to end what he described as “Mahajungleraj” under the All India Trinamool Congress.
“The BJP resolves to implement UCC in West Bengal to end appeasement politics forever,” Modi said, adding that national security remains a top priority.
Sharp Attack on TMC
The Prime Minister accused the ruling party of abandoning its slogan of “Maa-Mati-Manush” and instead relying on “infiltrator votes” to remain in power. He alleged that the state is witnessing rapid demographic changes and warned that Bengalis would not tolerate such developments.
“This election is about saving the identity of West Bengal,” he said, asserting that the BJP would not allow Bengalis to become a minority in the state.
Corruption, Law & Order in Focus
Modi also targeted the TMC on corruption, claiming that those involved in looting public money would face action if the BJP comes to power. He alleged that elements from the Left had joined the TMC, continuing a legacy of “cut and commission” politics.
Referring to recent incidents, the Prime Minister raised concerns over violence during Ram Navami processions in the state, contrasting it with peaceful celebrations elsewhere in the country.
Poll Narrative Intensifies
The Prime Minister further accused the TMC of spreading misinformation through AI-generated videos as elections approach, urging voters to remain cautious.
He also highlighted issues faced by Murshidabad’s silk farmers, alleging that their livelihoods had been neglected by the state government.
