May 4 marks TMC's expiry date, bumper voter turnout signals regime change in Bengal: Modi

MATHURAPUR (WEST BENGAL): (Apr 23) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that May 4, when votes will be counted, would mark the "expiry" of the "TMC's 15-year-old syndicate system and maha jungle raj" in West Bengal.

Addressing a gathering at the South 24 Pargana district's Kakdwip stadium under the Mathurapur assembly constituency, he claimed that the massive poll turnout in the state indicated that the TMC's regime of 'bhoy' (fear) was "surely getting defeated" by the 'bharosa' (trust) the BJP has promised.

"There's not one sector in Bengal where work gets done without bribes, where TMC syndicates and their middlemen don't take cut money. That 15-year-old syndicate system and the 'maha jungle raj' of TMC have reached their expiry date, which is May 4," Modi said.
