Have been watching the evolution of @DilipGhoshBJP with admiration. Over the last four years he has really come of age and emerged as a leader to reckon with in #WestBengal vindicating his selection as @BJP4Bengal President. #ModiInBengal #Haldia #WestBengalElection2021

2/n PM #NarendraModi takes stage - referring to the #UttarakhandAvalanche drawing a link between the source of the Ganga in #Uttarakhand and its meeting with the sea near #Haldia. #ModiInBengal #WestBengalElection2021

3/n As per @DilipGhoshBJP the gathering is around 3 lakhs from the 3 districts of erstwhile undivided #Medinipur. Impressive mobilisation. Certainly @SuvenduWB's entry would have made a big difference. #ModiInBengal #Haldia #WestBengalElection2021

4/n @narendramodi begins his speech by recalling the sacrifice of the great personalities of #Medinipur. (Earlier @DilipGhoshBJP referred to #SyamaPrasadMukherjee's role in the district getting Jan Sangh 6 seats in the first elections #ModiInBengal #Haldia #WestBengalElection2021

5/n PM #Modi lists the development projects in the pipeline for #WestBengal and allocations in the #Budget2021. He then refers to economic decline of #Bengal in the last six decades - across sectors education, industry et al. #ModiInBengal #Haldia #WestBengalElection2021

6/n Now, #Modi turns to the "international conspiracy" against India - in addition to Tea (which he mentioned in 3Assam) now adds #Yoga referring to the contribution of #SriAurobindo and #SwamiVivekananda - saying #MamataBanerjee has been silent on these. #ModiInBengal #Haldia

7/n PM #Modi recalls #Marichjhanpi and links it with #Nandigram - a double swipe at one stroke on #Trinamool and #CPIM. Messaging - one must learn from @narendramodi. #ModiInBengal #Haldia #WestBengalElections

8/n #PMModi underscores - whatever benefits of Corona relief have reached people of #WestBengal is through DBT schemes of GOI. But, farmers have been deprived of central schemes because of #WestBengal government not coming on board. #ModiInBengal #Haldia #WestBengalElections

9/n #Modi's speech in #Haldia replete with references of #BJP government's schemes for farmers. This indirectly indicates his position remians firm on the #FarmLaws. #WestBengalElections #ModiInBengal

10/n Big announcement by #NarendraModi in #Haldia - says if BJP comes to power in #WestBengal it will pay arrears of PM Kisan Schemes to #Bengal farmers that they were deprived of. Talks of "Ashol (Asli) Poriborton". Draws parallel with #Tripura. #ModiInBengal

11/n #Modi makes repeated mention of #WestBengal government's non-participation in central schemes like #AyushmanBharat and One-nation-one-ration-card. Draws a football analogy of "fouls" and "red card". #ModiInBengal #Haldia #WestBengalElections

12/n #NarendraModi pays homage to #AkhtarAli and conveys his condolences to his bereaved family. Wonderful attention to details. Links it with not letting guard down on #Covid19 and #vaccination campaign. #ModiInBengal #Haldia #WestBengalElections

13/n Bengali TV Channels carried verbatim translation of #PMModi's speech. Would have great impact and raise many questions in the minds of people. #ModiInBengal #Haldia #WestBengalElections

14/n The take aways of #PMModi's speeches in #Assam and #WestBengal have equal relevance at the national level as for the states he visited - especially regarding #FarmLaws and #Farmers. 14/14 #ModiInBengal #ModiInAssam

13/n2 Bengali TV Channels carried verbatim translation of #PMModi's speech. Would have great impact and raise many questions in the minds of people. #ModiInBengal #Haldia #WestBengalElections
