Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said West Bengal has been “freed from its shackles” as he visited the state for the first time since the BJP-NDA's historic election victory. Speaking at Paschim Banga Diwas celebrations in Tarakeswar, Modi said a new chapter of development and progress had begun in Bengal. He highlighted key welfare and infrastructure initiatives, including the release of the PM-KISAN installment, the launch of PMFBY in the state, and several development projects. Modi also promised better governance, accountability, and an end to the “cut money” culture, while pledging to restore Bengal’s growth and prosperity.
