Flyover collapse act of fraud: PM Modi during election rally in West Bengal

Kolkata: Accusing West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee of doing politics over bodies, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday that the Girish Park flyover crash in Kolkata last week was “God’s warning” to the people of Bengal that they should save their state from the Trinamul Congress.
The bridge collapse is an act of fraud and not an act of God, he said.

Mr Modi also attacked Ms Banerjee for forging an “adjustment” with corruption and said the TMC now stood for “Terror, Maut (death) and Corruption”.
At the same time, Mr Modi attacked the “duplicity” of the CPM and the Congress for entering an electoral tie-up in West Bengal and fighting bitterly in Kerala.

“Yes, just days before the elections, the flyover collapse is God’s message to the people: today the bridge has crashed, tomorrow Bengal will collapse in a similar way. Without getting rid of both the Trinamul Congress and the Left, Bengal cannot regain its lost glory,” Mr Modi said while addressing an election rally at Madarihat in North Bengal.

Dispelling the perception of a Modi-Mamata tacit understanding, the PM tore into the chief minister. From Saradha to Narada, from starvation deaths in sick tea gardens to infiltration from Bangladesh, from blasts in bomb factories to the flyover collapse, Mr Modi targeted Ms Banerjee belligerently on virtually every key issue.
