Modi: Corruption common character of INDIA bloc
Alleges TMC made it party’s full-time business
Howrah: Alleging that corruption was the common character of INDIA bloc parties, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday accused the TMC of having made it a "full-time business".
Addressing an election rally at Sankrail in Howrah, Modi said the job of TMC leaders is to create unrest in the state. "Whether the Congress, Left or any other party of the INDIA bloc, all of them have made corruption their common character," Modi alleged.
While many INDIA bloc parties indulge in corruption secretly, TMC does it openly, he claimed. "TMC has made corruption a full-time business," he said. Modi said people of the state have spent their earnings buying lottery tickets and losing them in the "lottery scam". He claimed that TMC's agenda is the welfare of illegal immigrants and not that of the people of West Bengal. "They call people of India as 'bohiragoto' (outsiders), but illegal immigrants from other countries are given sway in Bengal," he said.The PM said the Congress, Left and TMC have put West Bengal's identity on the altar. "In many areas, the original inhabitants have become minorities," he claimed.
