<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nKOLKATA: PM Narendra Modi sharpened his attack on Trinamool Congress, declaring in rallies across Bengal that \u201cmothers and sisters\u201d would punish it for stymying the women\u2019s reservation bill and urging voters to deliver \u201cmaha-punishment\u201d to what he called \u201cmaha-jungleraj\u201d, reports Rohit Khanna. Addressing four rallies in six hours Sunday \u2014 Bankura\u2019s Barjora, Purulia, Jhargram and Midnapore \u2014 before the April 23 phase of the assembly polls, Modi accused TMC and Congress of \u201cconspiring\u201d against women. \u201cWomen\u2019s welfare is Modi\u2019s guarantee,\u201d he said, alleging TMC is \u201cmaa virodhi (opposed to mothers)\u201d.Trinamool has deceived Bengal\u2019s daughters, who wanted 33% reservation to be implemented from 2029. Modi tried to implement that. If women join the legislature in large numbers, they will speak for their rights. TMC thinks woman MLAs from villages and districts will make them accountable for their misdeeds,\u201d the prime minister said, adding the party \u201cconnived with Congress\u201d to block amendments. A brief stop at a jhalmuri shop in Jhargram during the campaign leg drew attention online as BJP pushed for a last-mile voter connect. Modi outlined welfare promises, saying pregnant women would get Rs 21,000 and Rs 5,000 after childbirth, cervical cancer vaccination would be free, and medicines would be available at steep discounts through Jan Aushadhi outlets.Also Read |<\/span> ‘Do you eat onions?’ PM Modi takes ‘jhalmuri break’ during Bengal poll campaign – watch<\/a> He also spoke of an annual Rs 36,000 support for women, free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh and dialysis in govt hospitals. Modi accused Trinamool of seeking religion-based reservation. \u201cMuslims are being brought within the ambit of reservation for other backward classes. This is against the Constitution,\u201d he said. He also warned of \u201cinfiltration\u201d, saying Bengal risked losing its identity. \u201cTrinamool\u2019s agenda is dangerous. It wants to establish a govt of infiltrators, which will protect religion and language of infiltrators,\u201d he said. Targeting the party on tribal outreach, he alleged it is following the tactic employed by \u201cNehru to defeat Babasaheb Ambedkar\u201d. The PM said: \u201cBJP nominated the country\u2019s first tribal woman President. Trinamool put up a candidate against her. They played a game to prevent a tribal woman from becoming President.\u201d He alleged tribal districts lagged under Trinamool and land was being usurped by \u201csyndicates\u201d.<\/div>\n
