Speaking at the Durgapur rally, PM Modi said that infiltration in the state is a big threat to West Bengal and the country.

They are facilitating infiltration and are helping infiltrators get fake documents. For this, an entire ecosystem has now been developed.
It is a threat to Bengali culture. For the sake of appeasement, the TMC has crossed all the limits. Action will be taken against those who are not citizens of the nation.

Here are top quotes
The party which talks about 'Maa, Maati and Maanush' - what is happening with the daughters in the state they rule induces anger and pain... Even the hospitals are not safe for the daughters here... Prominent leaders and ministers of TMC, instead of culprits, start blaming the victims..." PM Modi said.
"West Bengal has everything it takes to become the leading industrial state in the country. Just a few years after the BJP comes to power here, the state will see rapid progress. But the TMC stands as a wall blocking Bengal's development. The day this wall falls, Bengal will witness the real pace of growth..."
"TMC's 'gunda tax' and 'mafias' are stopping investment in the state. The government here frames the policies to support the corruption of its leaders."
West Bengal was once a centre for the development of the country. However, today the situation has completely changed; the youth here have no option but to migrate. Instead of newer industries being established, the older ones are also being closed..."
"Injustice is happening with the daughters in West Bengal, under the rule of the TMC government...Hospitals are also not safe for the daughters in West Bengal...TMC shielded the criminals in the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape-murder incident. The nation did not recover from this incident, and in another college, an atrocity was committed on a daughter and in this case, the accused has a connection with the TMC..."
"TMC is attacking the state's education system through corruption and crime. Thousands of teachers are unemployed due to the corruption of the TMC government...The court also said that this is a systematic fraud..."
"TMC is against investment and job creation in West Bengal. Riots like Murshidabad happen in West Bengal and the police take unilateral action. There is no ray of justice in West Bengal... The state government cannot protect the lives of the people of the state..."
"Today the youth of West Bengal is forced to migrate to other states. Even for small works, the youth has to go to other states...Today, instead of new industries coming here, the old ones are being shut down. We have to bring Bengal out of this bad phase"

" Yeh Andar Ki Baat Hai": Uddhav Thackeray On D Fadnavis' 'Offer'
New Delhi: Uddhav Thackeray has responded to an 'offer' by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis that has sparked huge speculation. The two former allies - one who headed the Shiv Sena before it broke into two factions, and the other from the BJP - made comments that appeared like signalling for something significant. Mr Fadnavis, however, cleared the air. It was a joke, he said, referring to his comment that "Uddhav ji" has the scope to reunite with the ruling Mahayuti alliance. "Uddhav ji, there is no scope (for a change in government) till 2029. We do not have the scope to come to the other (Opposition's) side. You have the scope to come here, and it can be thought about. We can think about it differently," the chief minister had said. To a question by reporters on Friday, Mr Fadnavis said, "Why do you take our jokes seriously? Even Uddhavji has said it was said in a lighter note. Don't take our tension. We (Mahayuti) are capable and competent." Mr Thackeray, who heads the Shiv Sena (UBT), also met the chief minister on Thursday, a development that led to a buzz over something in the works. Later, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and Uddhav Thackeray's son Aaditya Thackeray said his father met Mr Fadnavis to discuss the Marathi language issue, which has been in the news in recent times. Mr Thackeray met Mr Fadnavis in the chamber of legislative council chairperson Ram Shinde. Worli MLA Aaditya Thackeray was also present in the meeting that lasted for about half-an-hour. On Friday, when reporters asked Uddhav Thackeray about Mr Fadnavis' offer, the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader said, "Before speaking to you, I was speaking to the print media. I spoke about the chaddi baniyan gang. Chaddi baniyans also have an advertisement - yeh andar ki baat hai." The "chaddi baniyan" reference was to a comment by Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar who in the assembly said the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance has fostered a culture of violence, misgovernance and corruption, turning Maharashtra into a "20 per cent commission" state. "While koyta gangs (gangs wielding 'koyta' knives) wreaked havoc in Pune, the ruling party has its own chaddi baniyan gang who resort to violence if things do not go their way," Mr Wadettiwar said. The undivided Shiv Sena led by Uddhav Thackeray parted ways with longtime ally BJP after the 2019 assembly election over a dispute on sharing the chief minister's post.

Will "Shut Down" Maharashtra Schools If Hindi Imposed From Class 1: Raj Thackeray
Mumbai: MNS chief Raj Thackeray on Friday warned Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis that if Hindi was made compulsory for Classes 1 to 5 in the state, "we will not hesitate to shut down schools". Speaking at a rally at Mira Bhayandar in the district, he asked the people of Maharashtra to stay alert and foil any plan of the government to impose Hindi. Earlier, workers of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) had roughed up a local shopkeeper after he allegedly refused to speak in Marathi. The BJP-led government recently withdrew two orders making Hindi mandatory in primary schools following strong opposition. Fadnavis, however, asserted on Thursday that the government will certainly introduce the three-language formula, but whether Hindi should be taught from Class 1 or Class 5 will be decided by the committee appointed to study the issue. Raj Thackeray, in his speech, dared Fadnavis to impose Hindi. "When they tried it once, we had shut down shops, and now we will not hesitate to shut down schools if Hindi is imposed (from Class 1 to 5)," he said. It was unfortunate that the chief minister of Maharashtra was striving to make Hindi compulsory, the MNS chief said. By imposing Hindi, the government was testing the people's response as it eventually wanted to attach Mumbai to Gujarat, Mr Thackeray alleged. Hindi was just "200 years old" while Marathi has a history of 2,500-3,000 years, he said. When migrants from Bihar were beaten up and driven away in Gujarat, it did not become an issue, but a minor incident in Maharashtra became a national issue, Raj Thackeray alleged. He also came down heavily on BJP MP Nishikant Dubey over his reported "patak patak ke marenge" remark, daring him to come to Mumbai. "Dube-dube ke marenge," Mr Thackeray said. He also referred to Morarji Desai and Vallabhbhai Patel's alleged anti-Marathi stand after independence. Maharashtrians should insist on speaking in Marathi everywhere in the state and make others speak the language, he said. Under the garb of Hindutva, there is an attempt to impose Hindi, he said. Raj, however, also stated that he can speak Hindi better than any other politician in Maharashtra, as his father was fluent in Hindi, and he was not against any language per se but opposed its imposition.

‘When we have provided a facility, it has to be ensured that it works as well': Gujarat CM's message to officials
When a facility has been created for people's convenience, there cannot be any compromise in ensuring that it is in functioning order. This was the message that Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel gave to officials on Friday as he laid emphasis on maintaining quality in public works being carried out in Gujarat. The CM was addressing a public gathering in Kalyanpura of Santalpur taluka of Patan district where he had arrived to inaugurate or lay the foundation stone of various developmental projects worth Rs 110 crore. The CM said, 'Our budget gets increased and proportionately, we keep on doing developmental works as well. If we put emphasis on quality in whatever work you get done, there will be fewer complaints in monsoon than (we) get (currently).' He further said, 'When we have given a facility, it has to be ensured that the facility works as well. There has to be an effort in that direction as well… you cannot compromise.' The function was also attended by the local MP, MLAs and district office bearers.
