Want BJP to form govt in Bengal: People at PM Modi's Siliguri rally

Thousands gather for PM Modi's rally in Siliguri, expressing strong support for BJP to form government in West Bengal ahead of Assembly polls.

"We want PM Modi to come to power in Bengal. - Rally Attendee"

Siliguri, April 12

A large crowd gathered at the venue of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's public gathering in Siliguri, West Bengal, on Sunday, eagerly waiting for a glimpse of the Prime Minister.

The attendees expressed their happiness and enthusiasm about meeting him. Chants of "Modi, Modi" and "BJP Zindabad" echoed throughout the crowd, which was holding the Tricolour, BJP flags, and portraits of PM Modi.

Prime Minister Modi is set to address a massive 'Vijay Sankalp Sabha' in Siliguri, marking a key moment in the ongoing election campaign ahead of the upcoming two-phase Assembly polls later this month.

The event forms part of an extensive outreach programme by the BJP, which is aiming to strengthen its presence in the region.

An artist who crafted a replica of Shri Kedarnath Dham as a gift for PM Modi over two years, specifically for his Bengal visit, also voiced excitement about meeting him.

Speaking to IANS, he said, "I had been making this replica for the last two years, slowly and step by step. I thought that when PM Modi comes to Bengal, I would meet him and gift it to him."

"We are here to meet him and have his darshan. It feels good that he is coming to address us today. He needs to visit this place and see the condition here. We want PM Modi to come to power in Bengal," another attendee said.

Wearing the BJP cap and holding the party flag, a supporter said, "We are very happy. We have come to see Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I am hoping to meet him."

Earlier on Saturday, the Prime Minister had addressed three mega campaign rallies across different districts of West Bengal on the same day. Following these engagements, he participated in a grand roadshow at Bagdogra near Siliguri in the Darjeeling district on Saturday evening.

As the Prime Minister's convoy moved through the roads, thousands of people lined the streets, enthusiastically chanting slogans such as "Modi-Modi" and "Jai Shree Ram". The atmosphere was charged with excitement as supporters gathered in large numbers to catch a glimpse of the leader.

Initially, PM Modi was seen seated in the front of his vehicle beside the driver, waving to the crowd. Later, he leaned out of the vehicle window, greeting supporters while holding a replica of the BJP's election symbol, the lotus. His direct interaction further energised the crowd, with chants growing louder and more spirited.

It's heartwarming to see the artist who worked for two years on the Kedarnath replica. This shows the deep personal connection people feel. However, I hope the political focus remains on real issues like jobs and infrastructure, not just symbolism.

As someone from North Bengal, I can say the condition here needs urgent attention. We have been neglected for too long. If Modi ji's visit brings focus and investment to our region, it will be a blessing. We want change.

The scale of these rallies is always impressive. The dedication of the supporters, standing for hours just for a glimpse, speaks volumes about the political engagement in India. It's quite different from the West.

While the enthusiasm is great, I hope people vote based on the work done for women's safety, education, and healthcare in the state. The rally atmosphere is one thing, but our daily lives are another. Let's choose wisely.

Jai Shree Ram! The roadshow with the lotus symbol is a powerful image. Bengal needs to break free from the cycle of violence and corruption. Only BJP can provide a stable, development-oriented government. The crowd's chants say it all.
