| Published on:

Hon’ble BJP National President Shri Nitin Nabin addressed the Nabadwip Zone meeting held in Kolkata, West Bengal on Wednesday on the second day of his West Bengal visit, providing the ‘mantra for victory’ to party karyakartas for the Bengal Assembly elections. Earlier today, he offered prayers at the historic Maa Dakshineswar Kali Temple, seeking the well-being and prosperity of Bengal and the entire nation. He also held several important organizational meetings today, reviewing the BJP’s micro-level preparations and giving necessary guidelines to party leaders and karyakartas. The Hon’ble National President is continuously visiting West Bengal and working tirelessly to strengthen the party’s organizational structure. During the event, West Bengal BJP Election In-charge and Union Minister Shri Bhupender Yadav, National General Secretary and West Bengal In-charge Shri Sunil Bansal, Bihar Government Minister Shri Mangal Pandey, Co-in-charge Shri Amit Malviya, former MP Smt. Locket Chatterjee, and other senior leaders and officials were present

Shri Nabin stated that the people of West Bengal want freedom from the environment of corruption, extortion, fear, and anarchy under the TMC government. Only the BJP can ensure security, employment, and dignity. The BJP’s lotus symbol represents taking West Bengal forward towards development, security, and ‘Sonar Bangla’. Shri Nabin mentioned that the strength of the BJP lies in its dedicated Karyakartas, who work with the spirit of ‘Nation First’. Party Karyakartas will reach every booth with hard work and dedication and will form the BJP government in the state on May 4. During the event, West Bengal BJP Election In-charge and Union Minister Shri Bhupender Yadav, National General Secretary and West Bengal In-charge Shri Sunil Bansal, Bihar Government Minister Shri Mangal Pandey, former MP Smt. Locket Chatterjee, and other leaders and office bearers were present.

Shri Nitin Nabin asserted that the lotus symbol represents the commitment to take the state forward on the path of development, ensure security, and realize the dream of “Sonar Bangla.” It was asserted that the lotus will play a significant role in transforming West Bengal into Viksit Bengal, aligning with the broader vision of a Viksit Bharat by 2047 under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji. The strength of the Bharatiya Janata Party lies in its Karyakartas, where each Karyakarta treats themselves as a candidate and works with dedication to ensure the party’s victory. It was emphasized that winning elections begins at the booth level, and BJP Karyakartas have strengthened the organization in West Bengal despite challenging conditions over the past several years. Their efforts are now yielding results, with growing public support. A call was made to move forward with the resolve of forming a BJP government in West Bengal, with the assertion that the state is witnessing a wave of change and that the people are ready to stand with the party. The election was described as being centered on two key issues: liberation from fear and a shift toward development. The people of West Bengal want to come out of an environment of fear created by the ruling establishment, and are looking toward the BJP as a source of hope. The leadership and Karyakartas of the party were described as fully committed to realizing the vision of “Sonar Bangla.” It was further stated that concerns related to safety, governance, corruption, and demographic changes have created anxiety among citizens, including women, youth, and families. Issues such as employment, migration of industries, and insecurity were highlighted as major challenges. In this context, it was asserted that the people of West Bengal believe that peace, development, and dignity can be ensured through the leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Shri Nabin said that Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has consistently emphasized that elections are won at the booth level. The manner in which Bharatiya Janata Party Karyakartas at the grassroots have built booth-level structures and strengthened the organization in West Bengal over the past four to five years, despite adverse conditions, was described as highly commendable. The hard work put in by party Karyakartas during this period is now showing results, with growing public support. It was stated that every individual in West Bengal is ready to stand with the Karyakartas in this wave of change and participate in the struggle. A call was made to move forward with the resolution that on 4 May, the Bharatiya Janata Party will form the government in West Bengal. It was further said that just as a festival of Holi was celebrated recently, a “Saffron Holi” will be celebrated on 4 May, symbolizing the party’s victory. It was asserted that the saffron flag will rise across every part of the state and that the Bharatiya Janata Party will fulfill its commitment to provide a safe West Bengal.

Shri Nitin Nabin said that this entire election is focused on just two major issues. It is an election to free West Bengal from the atmosphere of fear created by the TMC, as the people now want complete liberation from that fear. The TMC’s goons, so-called workers, and their government have been running a regime of extortion, corruption, and lawlessness, and the people of the state now want relief from this. The public wants to come out of this atmosphere of fear, and they are also clearly aware that if they are to escape this situation, their trust lies only with the Bharatiya Janata Party. The leadership of the BJP, its Karyakartas, and local leaders are fully committed, and the people believe that only they can realize the dream of a “Sonar Bangla.”

Launching scathing attacks on TMC, the BJP National President said that the TMC and Mamata Banerjee had once shown West Bengal the dream of “Maa, Mati, and Manush”, but today all three are overshadowed by fear. The mothers and sisters of the state feel unsafe. Even the land is facing injustice, as attempts are being made to alter the state’s demographic structure, and land is being used to shelter and protect infiltrators. The common people of West Bengal are also living in an atmosphere of fear, thinking twice before stepping out of their homes, worried about encountering someone who may demand extortion. Even those building houses now operate under the assumption that they must pay weekly, whether for gravel, bricks, or sand, every material comes with a price. Even benefits from government schemes are often cut, and such a ruthless government, which can be called a “Bhaipo Cut” government, must be removed to free West Bengal and its people. It is essential to bring the people of the state out of this atmosphere of fear, where citizens fear losing their property, youth worry about their uncertain futures, and mothers and sisters live under constant threat to their safety.

Shri Nabin stated that the youth continue to be concerned about employment, as the exodus of large companies has now forced them to look for jobs outside the state. In this climate of fear, the presence of infiltrators has further aggravated the situation. Every individual feels insecure while stepping out of their home and remains worried about the safety of their family, especially mothers and sisters. On one hand, there is this atmosphere of fear; on the other, the people of West Bengal are looking toward the Bharatiya Janata Party with hope. The public believes that only the leadership of the BJP and its Karyakartas are capable of taking the state out of this fearful environment. Just as people across the country have placed their trust in their leaders, the people of West Bengal are also placing their confidence in them. Over the past several years, BJP Karyakartas have continuously struggled to raise the voice of the people of West Bengal and fight their battles. Whether it is issues concerning women or major incidents, on every important matter, if anyone has fought firmly, it has been the Bharatiya Janata Party and its Karyakartas. Shri Nabin expressed confidence that it is only the BJP that can fulfill this trust. The people of the state are clearly aware that peace in West Bengal can only be established through the BJP, and the respect and safety of mothers and sisters can also only be ensured under the leadership of the BJP.

Shri Nabin said that people clearly understand that opportunities for livelihood will be available under a Bharatiya Janata Party government. There is also a belief that benefits such as permanent housing and health security through Ayushman Bharat will be ensured under the BJP, as these facilities are being provided to citizens across the country, while the people of West Bengal have been deprived of them by the state government. It was stated that after multiple zonal meetings, all leaders and candidates have actively begun outreach among the voters. The response from the public has been described as highly encouraging, with strong support visible even on candidates’ social media platforms. It was asserted that this time the lotus will bloom in West Bengal and that the victory will surpass all previous records. According to him, there is no real contest, and Party Karyakartas have been advised to remain focused solely on their work. They should implement the planned strategies effectively and move forward accordingly, without getting distracted by other issues, as it was expressed with confidence that the Bharatiya Janata Party is set to form the government.

BJP National President stated that the current situation in West Bengal has become a matter of concern even for the country’s internal security. The manner in which space is being created for infiltrators in the state was described as a serious issue. It was stated that when the central government seeks land for border fencing, the state government shows hesitation, but land is made available for settling infiltrators. Similarly, when road fencing for border security is proposed, obstacles are created in providing land. The state government approaches courts on issues related to infiltrators, while also challenging matters such as employees’ wages. On one hand, efforts are being made to facilitate the settlement of infiltrators, while on the other, implementation of the sixth and seventh pay commissions already applied in other states is being resisted through legal means. If legal action had been taken to ensure justice in cases involving crimes against women, it would have been commendable, but instead such matters are allegedly suppressed under administrative pressure. It was also claimed that if there had not been misappropriation of ₹25,000–30,000 crore, lakhs of youth could have been provided employment opportunities instead of being dependent on allowances. Youth could have contributed to the development of West Bengal through their efforts, but instead they have been deprived of opportunities and, in many cases, forced to migrate. The situation was described as an attempt to mislead the youth, even though they have the potential to play a significant role in the state’s progress.

Shri Nabin said that when the NDA government was formed in Bihar, around 50 lakh jobs were provided there in the previous year. In several states governed by the NDA, multiple employment opportunities have been created, whereas in West Bengal, the Mamata government has taken away opportunities instead of generating them, forcing youth to migrate. This issue must now be taken directly to the people, as public support is strongly in favor of the party. All issues and allegations need to be connected with the public and explained one by one. Outreach must be ensured to every household, with both candidates and party Karyakartas playing a crucial role in establishing contact at the grassroots level. Once the manifesto and vision document are released, the party’s commitments should also be communicated effectively to the public through them. The next 25–30 days were described as extremely crucial, and all efforts should be dedicated to the mission of ensuring a safe West Bengal, with every moment and every minute being important in this period.

Shri Nitin Nabin stated that the scale of corruption in Bengal has been immense. While it is claimed that such things do not happen under the TMC government, there is hardly any scheme where cuts are not extracted. Even the welfare schemes meant for the common people are subjected to such deductions. Therefore, it is essential to bring the people of the state out of this situation. It was urged to everyone to move forward with the resolve that just as the double-engine government under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji is working in many states across the country, a similar double-engine government must be established in West Bengal, one that ensures both development and trust, and carries every citizen along. When the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji talks about “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas,” the support of the people of West Bengal is crucial to realizing the dream of Viksit Bharat by 2047. Today, the people of the state are looking completely towards the leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party with trust and hope, and it is everyone’s responsibility to uphold that trust. Shri Nitin Nabin called upon everyone to put in their full effort and turn the people of West Bengal’s struggle into victory before May 4.

BJP National President said that West Bengal has historically been an important center culturally and literally, producing numerous scholars who have provided the nation with education, knowledge, and leadership, making it essential to protect this land. This is the very land that gave the song “Vande Mataram,” through which the fight against the British was waged and their rule was ended. Even this song has been disrespected by TMC MPs from the state, and this fact must be communicated to the public. When discussions were held in the Parliament on “Vande Mataram,” TMC MPs tried to halt those discussions. Those who today speak of the pride of Bengal are, in reality, challenging and harming Bengal’s true glory. The fight must be waged to protect this pride, and just as this land played a role in ousting the British, it will also play a role in removing Bangladeshi infiltrators. Everyone must come together to form a BJP government under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji. Shri Nitin Nabin, while wishing all candidates well, said that the lotus symbol is with them and the entire BJP family stands firmly behind them. With the hard work and dedication of all, the saffron flag will wave across West Bengal, and BJP’s victory will be ensured.
