In a phone call with BJP’s Krishnanagar candidate, Rajmata Amrita Roy, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that he is working to ensure that the money attached by the Enforcement Directorate in West Bengal goes to the looted and poor people of the state.

He said while the BJP is committed towards eliminating corruption from the nation, the corrupt persons are coming together to save each other.

The prime minister expressed confidence in the people of the state saying that will vote for ‘Parivartan‘ (change).

Notably, Roy is opposing TMC candidate Mahua Moitra in Krishnanagar.

This comes a day after PM Modi dialled BJP’s Basirhat candidate Rekha Patra, who is also one of the Sandeshkhali victims. He spoke to her about campaign preparations and also called her ‘Shakti Swaroopa’.

During their conversation, Patra told the prime minister that the situation in Sandeshkhali wouldn’t have prevailed if they were allowed to vote freely.

The BJP Lok Sabha candidate further stressed “no enmity” towards some TMC women supporters who were “against” her candidature.

The saffron camp released its list of 19 candidates in West Bengal on Sunday, fielding Rekha Patra from the high-stakes Basirhat seat and ‘Rajmata’ Amrita Roy from Krishnanagar, as a challenger to Moitra.
