Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], April 3 (ANI): Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s public meeting in Cooch Behar tomorrow, Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Shashi Panja on Wednesday said that Prime Minister Modi’s frequent visits to the state come during election times.
“PM Modi arrives more often here during elections…His leaders peddle lies about the fact that the state has got its money; however, the state government (TMC) is saying that the West Bengal has not received its money. So, on these opposite statements, PM Modi should speak or show some papers through which it can be certain that on this day or date, money has been accorded to the state (West Bengal),” Panja told ANI on Wednesday.
The Prime Minister would address its first rally in West Bengal’s Cooch Behar on Thursday after the announcement of the poll schedule by the Election Commission on March 16.

“Over the past 10 years, the Central Government has created numerous avenues for the youth. The youth have our full support. We have brought many initiatives to transform the lives of the poor… over 25 crore people have moved out of poverty,” the Prime Minister said.
