Prime Minister Narendra Modi has intensified his criticism of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) government in West Bengal, asserting that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will bring an end to what he describes as the "Maha Jungle Raj" in the state.

Addressing rallies in West Bengal, Modi has accused the TMC of corruption, nepotism, and appeasement politics, which he claims have hindered the state's development. He has urged voters to support the BJP in the upcoming assembly elections to establish a "double engine" government, referring to the party being in power at both the Centre and the state. Modi believes this will accelerate development and good governance in West Bengal.

One of Modi's primary concerns is the issue of infiltration in West Bengal. He alleges that the TMC is using infiltrators as a vote bank, leading to demographic changes and violence in several districts. Modi has asserted that strong action is needed to address infiltration, drawing examples from developed countries that are also removing illegal migrants. He reassured refugees, particularly the Matua community, who migrated to India due to religious persecution, that they need not worry, as the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protects their right to live in India.

The Prime Minister has also accused the TMC of opposing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls to protect infiltrators. This revision has raised concerns among the Matua community about potential disenfranchisement. Modi has sought to allay these fears, assuring the Matuas and Namashudras that the BJP will always serve them.

Modi has drawn parallels between the situation in West Bengal and the "Jungle Raj" associated with the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) rule in Bihar. He pointed to the BJP's success in the recent Bihar elections as an indication that the party can also bring positive change to West Bengal. He has claimed that the "Ganga flows from Bihar to Bengal," suggesting that the BJP's victory in Bihar has paved the way for a similar outcome in West Bengal.

In addition to his political rallies, Modi has also inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for several infrastructure projects in West Bengal. These include National Highway projects aimed at improving connectivity and reducing travel time between key cities. He also flagged off India's first Vande Bharat Sleeper Train between Howrah and Guwahati, demonstrating the government's commitment to modernizing transportation.

The TMC has responded to Modi's allegations by accusing him of ignoring the Matua community's concerns and withholding funds for state projects. TMC leaders have also claimed that Modi's speech lacked vision and responsibility. They defend their governance, asserting that West Bengal is a "paradise" compared to BJP-ruled states.
