Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday slammed the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC government, alleging that the “nirmam (ruthless) sarkar" is driving the youth of West Bengal into uncertainty and darkness.

While addressing a BJP rally, the PM referred to thousands of teachers being rendered jobless due to corruption in the government. "Bengal mein machi cheekh pukaar, nahi chahiye nirmam sarkar (anarchy in Bengal, people don't need the ruthless government," said the PM.

Stating that the TMC government was involved in many scams, including that of teachers' recruitment, Modi said the government was not at all sympathetic to the welfare of the people of the state.

He warned that the BJP would not allow anyone to destroy West Bengal and called upon the party men and the youth to get ready for a change to restore the glory of the state.

He said the TMC leaders, instead of acknowledging their mistakes, were accusing others, including the judiciary, of suppressing their misdeeds in the teachers recruitment scam.

"The TMC government is not ready to accept its mistakes in school jobs scam, it is blaming the courts, the judicial system," the PM said.

He said in recent communal violence in Malda and Murshidabad, hundreds of people were forced to flee for their lives, and accused the police of remaining mute spectators and being biased.
