Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday described his massive roadshow from Howrah to Kolkata as beyond words, calling it a powerful reflection of the growing “aspiration for change” across West Bengal. Sharing his remarks on social media, Modi said the public response throughout the route demonstrated rising support for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state.
The roadshow began in Howrah, passed through the iconic Howrah Bridge, and concluded in Kolkata, drawing large crowds and turning into a major political show of strength ahead of the crucial electoral battle in West Bengal.
In a sharp attack on the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC), the Prime Minister said “TMC’s sins will surely be punished,” while asserting that the BJP has emerged as “West Bengal’s choice.” His remarks underscored the BJP’s aggressive campaign pitch focused on governance, political change, and challenging the incumbent government.
The Prime Minister said the mood on the ground was visible “at every corner of West Bengal,” suggesting growing momentum for the BJP. Political observers see the Howrah-Kolkata roadshow as a significant mobilization effort aimed at consolidating urban and suburban voter support.
The symbolic route crossing the historic Howrah Bridge, a landmark associated with Bengal’s identity and legacy, added further political significance to the event. Supporters lined the roads as Modi’s convoy moved through the densely populated corridor, with chants and party flags dominating the atmosphere.
