Sonamukhi (West Bengal), April 12 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, stepping into the electoral battleground of West Bengal on Sunday, launched sharp attacks at All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) and Left parties and thundered that “khela will come to an end in Bengal while development will begin under the BJP rule.”
Addressing a mega public rally in Sonamukhi, he slammed widespread violence under TMC rule, claiming that the BJP workers were being deliberately targeted with a motive.
“With Narendra Modi in Delhi, bringing a BJP government to West Bengal would ensure a ‘double-engine government’ capable of tackling rioters,” he roared before the crowd while asserting that the BJP has the solution to the “goondaism” of TMC and Left groups.
Switching to the local language, he said that the era of “khela” would end and development would begin with a BJP victory in the elections.
He urged voters to elect BJP candidates Dibakar Gharami from Sonamukhi, Nirmal Dhara from Indas, and Bileshwar Singha from Barjora.
The UP Chief Minister also trained guns on the Mamata administration over alleged silence on the brutal killing of a Dalit Hindu in Bangladesh and claimed that this silence stemmed from fear of losing Muslim votes.
He accused “vote-bank traders” of attempting to alter Bengal’s demography and urged people not to allow Congress, Left parties, and TMC to jeopardise future generations.
He claimed that religious events like Navratri in the state were facing disruptions and called for collective efforts to restore Bengal’s past glory.
The CM further stated, “It is painful to witness Bengal’s current state, given its legacy in spirituality, culture, art, and education.”
He also highlighted the contributions of Swami Vivekananda, who instilled pride in Hindu identity, as well as Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Swami Pranavananda, founder of Bharat Sevashram Sangh.
He said, “TMC has turned a land of culture and nationalism into one marked by appeasement, corruption, and disorder.”
Referring to Anand Math by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, he warned that Bengal risks returning to a situation of suffering – now driven not by famine but by exploitation and misgovernance.
Appealing to voters, he said that wherever BJP’s double-engine governments are in power, there will be improved infrastructure, employment, and safety for women and businesses.
