Cooch Behar, 05 April (H.S.): Prime Minister Narendra Modi unleashed a ferocious broadside against West Bengal's Trinamool Congress (TMC) regime during a massive election rally at Ras Mela grounds here on Sunday, branding recent Malda violence as emblematic of maha jungle raj and kickstarting BJP's 2026 assembly poll offensive.

My dear brothers and sisters of Cooch Behar and North Bengal! PM Modi began, greeting the overflowing crowd with characteristic fervor. He declared Mamata Banerjee's countdown has begun, accusing TMC of fostering anarchy where even Supreme Court intervention became inevitable.

The Malda incident—judicial officers held hostage—exposes their ruthless disregard for constitutional institutions. If judges aren't safe, how can ordinary citizens expect protection? he thundered.

PM Modi linked Malda and Sandeshkhali horrors to systemic looting via syndicates, infiltrator patronage altering demographics, and stifled central schemes like Ayushman Bharat. One side brings fear—of losing roti, beti, maati to demographic shifts and syndicate terror. The other side—BJP—guarantees pride, secure homes, and land rights, he contrasted, urging fearless voting. Don't fear TMC goons on polling day; trust the law. Post-May 4, justice will reclaim Bengal from their clutches—Jai Bengal!

Women's Empowerment, Poll Guarantees

Hailing NDA's 33% women's quota in Parliament and assemblies—slated for a special April 16-18 session—Modi reassured population-control frontrunners: No seat losses; all will gain. He spotlighted three crore 'Lakhpati Didis' as proof of BJP's women-first ethos.

PM Modi slammed TMC's resistance to Special Intensive Revision (SIR) as infiltrator-shielding, positioning 2026 polls as Bengal's future referendum. Trust ECI for free, fair verdicts, he asserted, predicting BJP triumph on April 23/29 (count: May 4).
