Modi maintained in the letter, written in Hindi and Bangla with the slogan “e baar BJP sarkar”, that change (of government) has been become essential for Bengal after years of misrule which has led to people and industry moving out of the state due to misgovernance of the present dispensation. “Every young, old and woman who dreams of a sonar Bangla is depressed. From the depth of my mind, I have taken a pledge to make West Bengal Viksit (developed) and prosperous,” he said. The PM reached out to the voters, saying the direction in which the future of the youth of Bengal will move will be determined by their well-thought out decision in the next few months when the state goes to polls. “My mind gets depressed to see the ruined condition of a state with such a glorious past. The immense damage done to West Bengal due to the misgovernance and appeasement politics in the last six decades is indescribable,” he said.
Modi emphasised that it is extremely painful to see that the dreams of Swami Vivekanand and Aurobindo have been strangled by the narrow politics of vote bank, violence and anarchy. “The call for azaadi given by Bengal’s son Subhash Chandra Bose which had inspired the whole nation, the same pious land is today tarnished by illegal infiltration and violence against women. Fake voters are trying to dominate the Sonar Bangla of Rabindranath Tagore. The whole country is worried to see how Bengal is sinking into the darkness of anarchy,” Modi said.
