The Statesman Kolkata
|January 18, 2026
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday accused leaders of the ruling Trinamul Congress (TMC) and its “syndicates” of playing vote-bank politics by allegedly enrolling infiltrators in the electoral rolls of West Bengal.
Addressing a political rally titled 'Parivartan Sankalpo Sabha' at Nityanandpur in Malda district, the Prime Minister said driving out infiltrators had become one of the biggest challenges in the state. “Continuous infiltration in districts like Malda and Murshidabad has led to repeated communal tensions and riots, which are increasing day by day. Infiltrators are snatching away the rights of the original poor - their land and even their food. This must be stopped,” Mr Modi said.
