Addressing a public rally inCooch Behar to boost BJP prospects in the Lok Sabha polls, Prime Minister Modi asserted that only BJP can stop atrocities against women.
Prime Minister Modi also criticised TMC for not allowing the implementation of Central schemes in West Bengal. He said, many projects have not been completed on time despite the Centre giving record amounts of money. The Prime Minister also targeted Congress and said that for decades it kept giving the ‘Garibi Hatao’slogan but it is the BJP that has worked hard to alleviate 25 crore people from poverty. This happened because his Party is working sincerely and its ‘niyat’ is right.
