Prime Minister Narendra Modi attacked the Trinamool Congress during his rally in Durgapur, accusing it of shielding the accused in the Kolkata gangrape case and failing to ensure law and order in West Bengal. He alleged TMC leaders were linked to the accused and criticized the government’s handling of crimes against women. Modi also accused TMC of extorting businesses through a so-called ‘Gunda Tax,’ hindering investment and job creation. He launched infrastructure projects worth Rs 5,400 crore, including Bharat Petroleum’s City Gas project and the Durgapur-Kolkata gas pipeline, promising development despite the state’s alleged governance failures.
