SINGUR – Marking a pivotal moment, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched development projects in Singur, reaffirming the NDA government’s ironclad commitment to West Bengal’s holistic advancement.
The high-profile event saw Modi lay foundation stones for critical infrastructure, from resilient farm roads to smart irrigation networks and community skill development centers. ‘West Bengal’s development is non-negotiable,’ he stated emphatically.
Historically burdened by the Nano plant fiasco, Singur now eyes redemption through central largesse. Modi detailed how these interventions – backed by thousands of crores – will enhance productivity, create jobs, and fortify rural resilience.
Taking digs at state leadership, he accused them of prioritizing ‘syndicate raj’ over public good. Instead, he painted a vivid picture of Bengal as India’s growth engine, powered by double-engine governance.
Crowds erupted in applause as he announced bonus for rice procurement and new railway lines slicing through interiors. Women self-help groups and tribal communities were spotlighted as key beneficiaries.
Political observers interpret this as BJP’s strategic outreach, blending welfare with welfare politics ahead of crunch polls. TMC countered with claims of fund misuse, but ground sentiment leans towards tangible gains.
Wrapping up, Modi called for ‘poribortan’ – change through unity. Singur’s story could well foreshadow Bengal’s broader transformation, where promises meet pavement.
