"TMC has made Bengal the centre of scams .... today under Trinamool's TMC's, "illegal immigrants are thriving"
Today TMC has made it the centre of scams. There was a time when scientific inventions were done in Bengal, but in TMC's rule, there is a home industry of producing bombs in the entire state. There was a time when Bengal would agitate against illegal immigrants, but today under TMC's protection, illegal immigrants are thriving." - PM Narendra Modi said addressing a public rally in Barrackpore.
"This land of West Bengal and especially Barrackpore has written history. This land played an important role in independence. Look what TMC has done to it. There was a time when Bengal played an important role in strengthening Bangladesh's economy," he said.
