PM Modi Announces 33% Reservation for Women in Government Jobs During West Bengal Rally Ahead of Assembly Elections 2026

During a campaign rally in Bongaon, Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized local politicians and lawbreakers, alleging that they operate with a sense of impunity under the Trinamool Congress (TMC) government in West Bengal. Modi asserted that even minor political figures and individuals with criminal backgrounds regard themselves as part of the government, which he claims undermines the democratic process.

The Prime Ministers remarks come as part of the Bharatiya Janata Partys (BJP) ongoing efforts to gain a foothold in West Bengal, a state where the TMC has maintained a dominant position for over a decade. Modis statements reflect the BJPs strategy to highlight perceived governance failures and lawlessness in the region.

The rally was attended by a significant number of supporters, and Modi emphasized the need for a change in leadership, promoting the BJPs vision for development and governance in West Bengal. Currently, the state is preparing for upcoming elections, and the political landscape is heating up as various parties mobilize their bases.
