NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday addressed a rally at Kalyani University grounds, Nadia district West Bengal, where he reiterated chief minister Mamata Banerjee's "fear of losing" is making her cross all lines during election campaigning.
"Perturbed by fear of losing, Didi and her party are crossing all lines. Her people are abusing the SCs, STs, OBCs only because they support BJP. Seeing her defeat, Didi has strategised to stop them from voting and facilitate her goons to rig votes," said the PM addressing a public meeting in the Nadia district.
Earlier in the day, the PM had addressed a public meeting in Bardhaman, West Bengal, where he said that chief minister Mamata's political innings will end with the result on May 2
Campaigning for the fifth phase of voting on April 17, PM Modi said that the people of Bengal clean bowled Banerjee in Nandigram, implying the chief minister's defeat.
Following the election rally at Talit Sai Centre in Purba Bardhaman district and the rally in Kalyani University Grounds in Nadia district, the PM will address the third meeting for the day at the Barasat area of the North 24 Parganas district.
Highlights from PM Modi's speech in Kaliyan University grounds:* Seeing herself lose Didi has now devised a new strategy. Didi's plot is that SC, ST and OBC should not be allowed to cast their vote.
* Didi had said that Kalyani will be made a theme city. But she put her team of corruption, tolabazi and syndicate here. She made the panchayats and municipal corporations the TMC office.
* I met a person from the Matua community in Bangladesh recently, who said I'm India's first PM who came to seek Harichand Thakur's blessings in Orakandi.
* Didi didn't like my Orakandi visit. Didi, the country can see how you've spewed hatred towards Dalits and the underprivileged for 10 years.
* Today, the whole of Bengal has understood that economic upliftment, investment, craftsmen have never been a priority. For TMC, upgrading means upgrading their own cadre and goons.
Highlights from PM Modi's speech in Bardhaman:* Those who wanted to play 'khela' with you, people have now played 'khela' with them. Didi has been cleaned bowled by the people of Nandigram and Bengal.
* The people of Bengal failed the plan of Didi. She was preparing to hand over the captaincy of the party to Bhaipo (nephew), but the public caught her 'khela' in time.
* Bardhaman which is considered the 'rice bowl' of India, today suffers from a lack of basic facilities.
* Didi's entire team has been asked to go out of the field by the people of Bengal. She knows once Congress and Left went out of Bengal, they never came back.
* Tormenting 'Ma', looting 'Mati' (motherland) and bloodshed of 'Manush' (people) is the reality of Didi's "Ma, Mati, Manush" slogan.
* Didi once you go, will never come back again. TMC is going to lose.
* You have committed the biggest mistake, biggest sin, by insulting Dalits.
* Baba Saheb Ambedkar's soul hurt by insult hurled at Scheduled Castes called beggars by leader close to Mamata Banerjee.
* We sent lakhs to the Bengal government for providing people with clean tap water but a large amount of this fund is lying with the state government unutilized.
Polling for the first four phases has been concluded in West Bengal. The fifth and sixth phases of the ongoing elections will take place on April 17 and April 22. The counting of votes will take place on May 2.
