New Delhi/Kharagpur: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday linked momentary breakdown in Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp for about 50 minutes and said while people were unnerved over snag for such a brief period, in West Bengal there has been a development breakdown for the last 50 years.
Lashing out at Mamata Banerjee regime for unleashing a reign of terror and tola-baazi (extortion) in West Bengal,he said, there should be no fear among the voters this time and that day is not far to oust such a dispensation.
"Is baar bhoe nei, sirf joe, Paschim Banglar joe (No fear amongst people this time, victory is certain,the victory of people and the state), Modi said at a massive poll rally at Kharagpur.
He also said while the people across India are moving towards a 'single window' system of governance,in West Bengal, what matters is only 'single window called Bhaipo (nephew) window'.
"Paschhim Bangal mein kaun sa single window hae - Bhaipo Window', Prime Minister said amid
cheers from the large gathering.
The BJP has made Mamata Banerjee's lawmaker nephew Abhishek Banerjee the target of their attackfor his perceived 'extra constitutional' power and authority in the running of affairs in West Bengal and Trinamool Congress.
Trying to take away the steam from Mamata's 'bhoiragata (outsiders)' tag against BJP central leaders,the Prime Minister said on the contrary it is the BJP which is genuinely a "Bengal-based party".
"Jana Sangh's janma-data (founder) was a son of Bengal. Therefore, if there is a Bengal party in the true sense, then it is the BJP. The BJP's DNA has the achar-vichar (ethics, thoughts and values) of Ashutosh Mukherjee and Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee," Modi said.
On Friday, March 19 night, many social media users said they were unable to log in or use the apps likeFacebook and WhatsApp for about 50 minutes.
The website Downdectector.com reported issues with the apps around the world.
Facebook also had issued a statement saying its services were affected by a number of issues.
“Multiple teams are working on it (the outage), and we'll update you when we can,” Facebook's gaming unit has said. West Bengal elections to be held in eight phases beginning March 27 has entered quite an exciting stageas the Trinamool Congress has geared up well to face the onslaught from the BJP, which has emerged as achief challenger to Mamata Banerjee keeping Left and Congress party far behind.
"This election Mamata Banerjee is extremely under pressure....People have decided to dump Mamata governmentand therefore, she is busy displaying her injured feet," said BJP president Dilip Ghosh at the rally.
Prime Minister in his speech reminded the voters that while they have faced the mis-governance of Congressand Left parties, the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool has in fact betrayed people.
"aap ne Didi ko viswas kiya....Didi ney aapko dhoka diya (While you reposed faith in Mamata Banerjee,she only returned that gesture with betrayal)," Modi said.
PM Modi's second visit to Bengal this month comes ahead of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) unveiling its manifesto for West Bengal polls on Sunday.
