Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Sunday said that the Left Front, the Congress and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamamta Banerjee are not bothered about the youth of the Bengal but about Bangladeshi infiltrators.
BJP is clear about the fact that votebank politics has ruined our nation. Be it the Left, Congress or Didi (Mamata Banerjee), neither of them are bothered about the youth but about Bangladeshi infiltrators," said Modi.
"No matter how much didi keeps objecting and opposing me, I will never back out from serving the people of Bengal," he added.
He further said that West Bengal was in such a situation that it could not even stand on its own.
"There was a time when Bengal saved the country, it used to run the country, showed India the way, but today Bengal can't even stand on its own," Modi said.
"What kind of laws are these that anyone comes up with a company and loots people in the name of chit fund. The youth of Bengal is the real tiger of Bengal; and a real tiger never saves scamsters," he said.
