Ranaghat (West Bengal) [India], December 20 (ANI): People have gathered at Taherpur Netaji Park in Ranaghat, Nadia, waving national flags and chanting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s name, ahead of his public address and the inauguration of multiple development projects worth ₹3,200 crore on Saturday.
Key projects include a 66.7 km 4-lane stretch of the Barajaguli-Krishnanagar section of NH-34 and the foundation stone for the 4-laning of the Barasat-Barajaguli section of NH-34, which aims to improve connectivity between Kolkata and Siliguri.
According to the Prime Minister’s Office, PM Modi will reach Ranaghat in Nadia district at around 11.15 am.
The Prime Minister said in a post on X on Friday that while people in West Bengal are benefiting from the Centre’s multifaceted development projects, they continue to suffer due to what he described as the “misrule of the Trinamool Congress in every sector.”
Asserting that the BJP is now the “only hope and trust” of the people, Modi said the excesses of the ruling party had “crossed all limits.”
“Tomorrow, on the 20th of December, at noon, I will deliver a speech at the BJP public meeting in Ranaghat. The people of West Bengal are receiving the benefits of the central government’s multifaceted projects. However, at the same time, due to the misrule of the Trinamool Congress in every sector of the state, they are becoming victims of suffering. The looting and intimidation by the Trinamool have crossed all limits. That is why today, the BJP is the only hope and trust of the people”, PM Modi tweeted on X.
The visit comes amid an intensifying political battle between the BJP and the TMC in West Bengal ahead of upcoming electoral contests.
Moreover, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also visit Assam on December 20-21. He will reach Guwahati today around 3 pm. In Guwahati, he will inaugurate the new Bamboo Orchids terminal at the airport, unveil an 80-foot-tall statue of Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi, and lay the foundation stone for a new 12 lakh MT-capacity fertiliser unit at Namrup in Dibrugarh district.
