Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reiterated his “six guarantees” for West Bengal, framing them as a formal assurance to the women, or “Nari Shakti,” of the state ahead of the May 4 Assembly‑election results. Open‑source records from official‑style releases show that Modi presented these pledges at recent rallies in Haldia and Asansol, promising that a BJP‑led government would replace what he called an atmosphere of fear with trust, ensure accountable governance, and reopen cases of corruption and crimes against women allegedly suppressed during 15 years of Trinamool Congress rule.
One of the central claims in Modi’s pitch is that after May 4, a BJP government will “account for every single penny” linked to TMC‑era misrule, compiling what he has described as a white paper on corruption involving ministers, MLAs, and local syndicates. Open‑source campaign‑style feeds and official‑adjacent posts indicate that the BJP is positioning this as a core accountability promise directed at voters who have repeatedly raised concerns about alleged corruption, illegal land grabs, and financial irregularities under the TMC. At the same time, union and BJP leaders have accused the state government of deliberately shielding such activities through political patronage and weak law‑and‑order enforcement.
Modi has also presented the Siliguri Corridor as a “corridor of national security and prosperity” crucial for India’s connectivity to the Northeast. Open‑source BJP‑linked statements describe the corridor as vulnerable to external threats, especially infiltration and security‑related disruptions, and accuse the TMC of prioritising vote‑bank politics over national‑security imperatives. Modi’s remarks tie this security‑and‑prosperity narrative directly to his electoral pitch, warning that if the TMC continues to back groups that threaten this lifeline, the national‑interest‑oriented BJP‑led arrangement would be the only alternative.
