Addressing a poll rally ahead of the second phase of polling on April 11 in the state, Modi accused both Mamata and Left of not being interested in Bengal's welfare or future as he appealed to people to vote Trinamool Congress out of power and give BJP a chance and see development in the state.
Recalling the glorious history of West Bengal, Modi said, "After independence, Congress, Left, and now 'Didi' (Mamata), have all shown faces of destruction of Bengal. Be it Left or 'Didi', they both cannot secure your future. They cannot safeguard your fate.
Congress and the Left have formed an alliance to fight the Assembly polls in West Bengal to take on the ruling Trinamool.
Modi also hit out at Mamata for not attending meetings called by him as Prime Minister, but meeting Congress president Sonia Gandhi whenever she was in Delhi.
"She is such a CM who feels that she will not go to the Prime Minister's meeting. But whenever Mamata didi comes to Delhi, she never forgets to meet Sonia Gandhi. We don't understand this relation.
