Narendra Modi slams TMC government and Congress in West Bengal during Lok Sabha election rally, says both parties allied on ‘appeasement’. Prime Minister Narendra Modi lashed out at the Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal at a Lok Sabha election rally on Friday while reiterating his fondness for the people of the state. Pointing to the turnout at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rally in Malda, Modi said: “Your love makes me think that I was born in Bengal in my last life or my next birth will be in Bengal.” “You people have come in such large numbers that the ground has become smaller. I apologise for the inconvenience caused to you. I will return your love through development,” Modi said, the Bangla version of Hindustantimes.com reported.PM blasts TMC over job scam in West Bengal The Prime minister also lambasted the TMC over the cancellation of around 26,000 jobs following a high court order, asserting that the youth of West Bengal have suffered due to the “cut-and-commission” culture of the party, which is now “synonymous with scams”. “The TMC indulges in scams for which the people of the state have to suffer. The party has been playing with the future of the youth of Bengal,” he said, according to a Press Trust of India report. Narendra emphasised how the TMC’s involvement in scams has not only jeopardised the future of Bengal’s youth, but has also adversely affected thousands of families. “The teacher recruitment scam snatched the livelihood of around 26,000 families. The youth who took loans to pay bribes to the TMC leaders are now burdened by this situation too. The Centre is working towards generating jobs for the youth of the country,” he said. Earlier this week, the Calcutta High Court declared the recruitment process of the State Level Selection Test-2016 (SLST) in West Bengal government-sponsored and aided schools as “null and void,” ordering the cancellation of all appointments made through it. “Under TMC rule, only one thing exists – scams totalling thousands of crores. The culprit is TMC, but the entire state is forced to pay for its deception and scams,” he said.
