A stirring missive from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to West Bengal’s voters captures the erosion of a once-mighty state, urging a BJP-led renaissance under ‘Ebar BJP Sarkar.’ ‘Everyone harboring the Sonar Bengal dream is heartbroken,’ he declares, his resolve to develop the state born from personal anguish over its mothers’ insecurity and overall decay.
Starting with reverence to Maa Kali, PM Modi emphasizes voter responsibility in charting the youth’s destiny. His decade-plus governance has prioritized all-round growth: farmer welfare, youth opportunities, maternal empowerment – successes visible despite Bengal’s hurdles.
Central schemes triumph: 5 crore in Jan Dhan banking net, 85 lakh Swachh Bharat toilets, Rs 2.82 lakh crore credit for small traders, 56 lakh Atal pensions, 1 crore+ Ujjwala connections freeing women from drudgery, and 52 lakh PM-KISAN beneficiaries. Farmers who feed India starve locally – a poignant irony PM Modi addresses head-on.
Bengal’s post-1947 dominance in economy and industry has crumbled under misrule and divisive politics. Migration plagues the young; fear haunts women. Legends like Vivekananda, Aurobindo, Netaji, and Tagore’s ideals clash with today’s vote-bank chaos, infiltration, and atrocities.
Enough is enough, PM Modi asserts. Neighboring states showcase progress in health, employment, and security. Bengal must join this wave. As polls near, his letter galvanizes support for BJP, promising to resurrect Sonar Bengal from anarchy’s grip into a beacon of development and dignity.
