Modi Vows to End Appeasement Politics in West Bengal

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, campaigning for the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, strongly criticised the Trinamool Congress (TMC) for alleged "appeasement politics" and asserted that Bengalis would not be reduced to a minority in their own state. Addressing rallies in Murshidabad and Jangipur on April 11, 2026, Modi pledged that a BJP government would terminate such policies. He argued that these practices have disrupted the state's social balance and development. The Prime Minister underscored his party's commitment to ensuring equal opportunities for all citizens and safeguarding the identity and rights of Bengalis. These remarks came amidst intense political campaigning, with the BJP consistently targeting the TMC government over governance and alleged favouritism.
