While addressing a public meeting in Purulia, PM Modi said, "The TMC government, which intimidated and threatened the people of Bengal during elections, has crossed all limits this time. Today, in the country and the world, ISKCON, Ram Krishna Mission, and Bharat Sevashram Sangh are known for service and morality, but today the Chief Minister of Bengal is openly threatening them, warning them from an open platform." "There are millions of followers associated with these missions all over the world, and their sole aim is to serve the people. The Bengal government has pointed a finger at him and is threatening in his name.

So much courage! Just to please their vote bank," he added.

The Prime Minister's statement comes after the West Bengal CM said on Saturday, "There is a maharaj in Behrampore; I have been hearing about him for a long time. Kartik Maharaj.
