Abuse me all you want. But don’t insult Bengal’s dignity and tradition. Bengal won’t tolerate your arrogance, tolabaaz (extortion), cut money syndicate because people want ‘Asol Poribartan (real change)’ now,” PM Modi said, campaigning in Bardhaman for the Bengal election that is half-way through. This was the first of packed rallies the PM addressed in Bengal today amid rocketing Covid cases across the country, especially in states where elections are being held. People in masks as well as without them were seen at various public meetings. PM Modi used the Trinamool’s “Ma, Mati Manush (Mother, motherland, people)” slogan to attack the party, saying: “Tormenting ‘Ma’, looting ‘Mati’ and bloodshed of ‘Manush’ is the reality.”
