Narendra Modi’s interview to Doordarshan News(34 minute video); Srirampur: Mamata's painting Rs. 1.8 crore (1:25:22)

Following are the glimpses of Narendra Modi’s rally at Srirampur in West Bengal where Bollywood musician Bappi Lahiri is BJP candidate. Confusion over whether to speak against Mamata is over. Modi speaks freely against Mamata, but on certain issues like chit fund scam, Bangladesh intruders and dissatisfaction among people against Mamta government. Modi also attacked Congress, but that didn’t evoke much response because Congress doesn’t matter in Bengal. Presented are Mamata related parts of Modi’s speech:

-The governments so far in this state wasted 40 years of West Bengal and ruined two generations of this state. I want to ask the brothers and sisters here, two generations were ruined in 40 years. Do you also want to get yourself ruined, you want your future generation to get ruined? Think about your future, and keep Bengal out of a (vicious)circle of Congress-left-TMC. These three are together. They are the same. Today Congress party has officially issued a statement that they are ready to support the third front. If they want to support third front then why are they contesting elections here? Whom are they making fool? Brothers and sisters, generally opposition parties get together against the ruling party. They form partnership, make strategies to defeat the ruling party. But in Indian politics, it is for the first time, that at some places the ruling party is making partners, and at other places they are playing tricks behind the curtain, at some places they are fielding Congress’s ‘A’ team and ‘B’ team here and there. For the first time, Congress party is not making strategies or fighting elections to save their government. They are making partners, they are doing everything to stop Modi. Their one point agenda is ‘stop Modi’. Why are they so much afraid of Modi? They think, if Modi comes, where shall they land after 16th of May. Congress party is driving nation’s politics to negativity.

-Mamata didi where’s your Mamata. People of Bengal looked at you with great hope. What did you do with that Mamata? This is the land of those who worship Saraswati, Sharda and Lakshmi, but Mamtaji how’s your Mamata that mother Sharda turned Sharda chit fund here? We didn’t expect this from you Mamtaji. I personally respect you, but what did you do? You ruined the dreams of people of Bengal. People of Bengal showered love over you, but you are doing same what left people were doing here. You have selected the path of left and not come out of the habits you gained during your days in Congress. You are going ahead with both bad things.

-Shouldn’t people get Sharda chit fund money back? Why those guilty are not punished? Chidambaram is Finance minister. Whom is he helping? Why Mamtaji and Chidambaram both together are helping Sharda chit fund accused?

-I announce from here that after forming government in Delhi, we will take strict actions against accused of Sharda Chit Fund. Mamtaji I respect you, and therefore some people led my attention, also I have read in newspapers too. You are a good painter. Earlier your paintings were sold in range of 4-15 lakh, but why your painting has been sold for Rs. 1 crore 80 lakh? Country is proud of the fact that nation has such painters. But who was the person who bought painting for Rs. 1.80 crore. How many paintings same person purchased in past and at what price? People of Bengal have no right to know? I wonder, Mamtaji worries less about Bengal but worries more about her chair. She enjoys fight for round the clock, and not performing. Mamtaji you are Chief Minister now. The days of agitations are over. Now do something good for people. It seems your old habits are just not going. Mamtaji time has changed. Fake cases against those in public life can’t make you popular. This is not the path. You are a committed leader. I again say that personally I respect you, but you have gone on wrong path.And therefore you have caused more damage in 35 months(of your rule), compared to previous 35 years(left rule).

-These days there’s competition going on for politics of votebank. I consistently speak about good governance and development. If I speak about employment, youths, farmers, poor person’s two time meal, security of women, suicides, the opponents ask what about secularism? They don’t want to discuss the issues, they just want to do vote bank politics. These days Mayavati, Mulayam, Congress, Mamta, all are involved in vote bank politics. This vote bank politics has pushed the future of youths to darkness. This nation needs politics of development, good governance and welfare of people. This divide and rule is ruining the nation. Mamtaji you have made Bengal victim of vote bank politics. I wonder Mamtaji, you feel people of Bihar, Odisha, Marwari outsiders here? And if Bangladesh arrives, your face just start shinning. Like some relative you know from seven generations has arrived. For vote bank politics, you insult Indian federalism, and you offer red carpet to Bangladeshis? After 16 May, these Bangladeshis will have to pack their bags. The country can’t run in this style. Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat is our mantra, we will not allow split in India.

Commenting on Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh’s remark that he hasn’t seen Narendra Modi wave during these election, BJP prime ministerial candidate Shri Narendra Modi in his speech at Srirampur in West Bengal on Sunday evening said, the prime minister couldn’t see price hike, corruption during his rule, they how can he spot the wave in this election? Modi said it’s not PM’s fault because he always sees through the mother son’s eyes, and therefore he himself can’t see anything on his own.
