'Bengal wants change'

• PM Narendra Modi said, 'This is the holy month of Sawan and at such a holy time, I have got the privilege of being a part of the development festival of West Bengal. BJP has big dreams for West Bengal. BJP wants to build a prosperous West Bengal. BJP wants to build a developed West Bengal. All these projects are an effort to make this dream come true.'
• Modi said, 'People used to come here from all over the country for employment, but today the situation has completely changed. Today the youth of West Bengal are forced to migrate. They have to go to other states even for small jobs. We have to take Bengal out of this bad phase, and the projects that have been started here today are a symbol of this. Bengal wants change. Bengal wants development.'
• PM said, 'Today I have come to assure you that the bad condition of Bengal can be changed. After the BJP government comes, Bengal can become one of the top industrial states of the country in just a few years. This is my firm belief. The TMC government is standing like a wall in front of the development of Bengal. The day this wall of the TMC government falls, Bengal will catch a new pace of development from that day. The real change will come only when the TMC government goes.'
