Targeting the Trinamool Congress government, Modi accused it of hampering the state’s progress, weakening industries in Haldia and failing to create opportunities for youth. He alleged that private sector jobs have declined, public recruitment is marred by corruption, and skilled workers are migrating due to lack of employment. He also criticised what he described as a politics of fear, stating that investment and business growth depend on trust and stability.
Modi assured that a BJP government would restore confidence, ensure transparent governance and generate employment through initiatives such as job fairs. He promised to end corruption, dismantle syndicate systems and implement development models seen in other BJP-ruled states. Urging voters to reject divisive politics, he said the BJP aims to build a growth-oriented, accountable administration that would drive industrial revival and long-term progress in Bengal.
