During a rally, Prime Minister Narendra Modi framed the election as a choice between parties that allegedly enable “ghuspaithiya” (infiltrators) to settle and those that promise to stop infiltration and expel them from West Bengal. He warned of demographic change, claiming it would take away people’s freedom on their own land, and contrasted it with the Bharatiya Janata Party’s promise of security and dignity. He accused the All India Trinamool Congress of protecting infiltrators, integrating them into syndicates, and using them as a vote bank, alleging this poses a threat to public safety in border areas. He claimed the central government is identifying and deporting “ghuspaithiya,” and accused TMC of opposing measures like SIR to prevent their identification, while threatening to revoke Citizenship Amendment Act benefits for Hindu refugees. He further alleged that appeasement politics is altering Bengal’s identity and culture, and criticised TMC for naming its manifesto “istehaar,” linking the term to historical communal violence in 1905 Bengal. He warned that “special community” could make it difficult for Hindus to live in the state, and claimed the election would determine the future, security, and rights of citizens. He also referenced population control, stating that states implementing such measures would benefit politically.
