PM Modi Slams TMC in Ranaghat, Calls for 'Double-Engine' Govt to End 'Jungle Raj'

  • PM Modi accused TMC of obstructing West Bengal's development and called for an end to "jungle raj" during his Ranaghat address.
  • He advocated for a "double-engine government" in West Bengal, citing Bihar's development mandate as an example.
  • Modi criticized TMC for allegedly shielding infiltrators and opposing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise.
  • The Prime Minister inaugurated and laid foundation stones for infrastructure projects worth ₹3,200 crore, including NH-34 upgrades.
