Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday (April 9, 2026) asserted that a regime change in West Bengal is inevitable as the Trinamool Congress’s “repository of sins” has become full.
Beginning his speech at this coal and industrial belt by invoking local deities Goddesses Kalyaneshwari and Ghagar Buri Chandi, Mr. Modi spoke about the State’s “economic decadence” and added, “Bengal’s contribution in national GDP has slid to mere five per cent from 12 per cent earlier.”
