PM Narendra Modi Announces Six Guarantees for West Bengal
Kolkata: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday announced six key guarantees for the people of West Bengal while addressing an election rally in Haldia. He also strongly criticised the ruling Trinamool Congress government led by Mamata Banerjee.
Modi accused the state government of corruption and said its main intention was to “cut money and loot.” He urged people to vote for the BJP and bring a “double-engine government” to the state, stating that coordinated work between the Centre and the state would bring real development.
Speaking at the rally, the Prime Minister said that West Bengal would become self-reliant in fisheries and food production under a BJP government.
He then outlined six guarantees for the state:
- The first guarantee is to end the “atmosphere of fear” in the state and replace it with trust and safety.
- The second guarantee promises a government system that serves people responsibly, with investigations into all corruption-related files.
- The third guarantee focuses on reopening all cases related to crimes, corruption, and injustice against women.
- The fourth guarantee states that anyone involved in corruption, including ministers, will face legal action and imprisonment.
- The fifth guarantee assures that refugees will get all constitutional rights, while illegal infiltrators will be removed.
- The sixth guarantee promises the implementation of the 7th Pay Commission as soon as a BJP government is formed, benefiting government employees and teachers.

Mamata Banerjee Faces Constitutional Setback after Bengal Assembly Dissolution
New Delhi: West Bengal Governor R. N. Ravi has officially dissolved the state Assembly after Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee refused to resign from her post.
The Assembly’s term ended at midnight on Thursday. A notification from Raj Bhavan confirmed that the Assembly was dissolved under Article 174(2)(b) of the Constitution.
Legal experts said the dissolution ends the constitutional basis of the current government. Mamata Banerjee may continue only as a caretaker Chief Minister until a new government is formed.
Constitutional law expert Swapnil Tripathi said the Chief Minister cannot continue in a regular role once the Assembly no longer exists. He explained that a government needs the support of elected MLAs to remain in power.
He also said Mamata Banerjee has no direct constitutional option to stay in office permanently after the dissolution.

The matter is now expected to move to the courts as political tensions continue in West Bengal.
