Prime Minister Narendra Modi turned Singur into a development epicenter Saturday, flagging off projects that signal a fresh chapter for West Bengal’s long-awaited progress.
‘Our sarkar is fully committed to Bengal’s vikas,’ Modi boomed, dedicating assets like modern godowns, canal restorations, and youth training hubs to the people.
Once marred by farmer agitations against land grabs, Singur now hosts symbols of hope. The PM outlined a multi-pronged strategy: boosting farm incomes via tech infusions, linking villages through better connectivity, and igniting entrepreneurship.
He lambasted the ruling dispensation for ‘looting Bengal’s dreams,’ contrasting it with Centre’s farmer-friendly policies that have hiked MSP and insurance covers.
The rally pulsed with energy – folk dances, LED screens flashing project visuals, and Modi’s anecdotes drawing roars. BJP cadres predict ripple effects across districts.
Experts highlight the economic calculus: these moves could unlock Singur’s potential as an agro-industrial node, curbing migration and fostering self-sufficiency.
In closing, Modi envisioned a ‘Nabin Bengal’ – new Bengal – rising phoenix-like. With implementation key, this launch sets stage for a development duel in the state’s political arena.
