Modi Links India's Destiny to Eastern States, Confident of Bengal Win
Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted on Monday that "Bharat ka Bhagyoday, Purvoday ke bina adhura hai" (India's rise is incomplete without the rise of the East), emphasizing the critical role of eastern states in national development. Addressing a Vijay Sankalp Sabha in Barrackpore, West Bengal, he highlighted "Ang, Bang, and Kang," referring to Bihar, West Bengal, and Odisha as historical pillars of India's prosperity. Modi expressed strong confidence that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would emerge victorious in West Bengal, mirroring its past successes in Bihar and Odisha. He stated that this election is crucial for changing the destiny of the entire eastern India and criticized the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) for alleged "jungle raj."
