In a pointed critique and praise intertwined, senior BJP figure Dilip Ghosh addressed the media in Kolkata on Monday, underscoring the Modi government’s lavish funding for West Bengal’s development. ‘Never before has any Central regime showered Bengal with such resources,’ he declared, crediting PM Modi’s vision.
Ghosh detailed the latest windfall: enormous funds greenlit for state projects over mere days. Drawing stark contrasts with the UPA era under Manmohan Singh, he quantified the leap—lakhs of crores more now funneled directly into tangible infrastructure and welfare schemes.
Bengal’s achievements shone through in his narrative, particularly in empowering women via education and bolstering rural economies, setting benchmarks for the nation. Locals are witnessing transformation, Ghosh noted, urging a unified ‘double engine’ governance to turbocharge this momentum.
Security concerns loomed large as he alleged Bengal serves as a launchpad for militants and illegal entrants destabilizing other regions. Progress under Amit Shah has fortified the Indo-Bangla border, with fencing almost done. Ghosh envisioned a secure Bengal accelerating alongside development, empowering citizens to fuel India’s rise.
