West Bengal ruling Trinamool Congress on Saturday launched a scathing attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying he came empty handed and returned without any assurances to the concerns of Matua community, who have been facing uncertainty over enrolling their names in the ongoing SIR.

Party spokesman Kunal Ghosh said that PM Modi's speech was directionless, politically motivated and he ignored the concerns of the Matua community at large.

He said the failure of Modi's helicopter to land at Taherpur due to bad weather was an "Act of God."

He said this was an indication that the BJP's days are numbered and reminded what TMC's national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee told their leaders in Parliament that "Kursi ki peti bandh lijiye, mausam bigarnay wala hai" (fasten your seatbelts, the weather is about to change)

Ghosh said that the "Mausam begar chuka hai for the BJP,"(weather has changed for the BJP) and added that PM's failure to address the rally at Ranaghat was an act of God.

He said PM Modi had got an opportunity to address the issues of the Matua community of losing identity owing to unplanned SIR by the ECI at the behest of BJP.

Ghosh said Modi, during the audio message from Kolkata airport had enough scope to address the Matua community concern but he did not.

He also slammed Modi's infiltration issue and said the PM should better ask the BSF and his minister Amit Shah how "gooshpetia," sneaked into Indian territory.

Ghosh also asked why there was no mention regarding infiltrators and Rohingyas in the published draft rolls of SIR.

"If SIR was genuinely meant to weed out illegal infiltrators, why has ECI failed to disclose how many Bangladeshis or Rohingyas were actually detected in the voter rolls?" he questioned.

"Where are they? Why were they not identified? And if they were, why is this data being concealed?"

"For months, BJP leaders have been shouting from the rooftops that one crore foreigners are supposedly hiding in Bengal. Yet the Ministry of External Affairs itself informed Parliament that over the last ten years, across the entire country, only 18,851 India-Bangladesh and 1,165 India-Myanmar infiltrators were arrested," a TMC media statement said.

"And even if one were to momentarily accept this manufactured hysteria around illegal infiltration, does it not amount to a damning indictment of the sheer incompetence of Amit Shah and the Home Ministry in securing India’s borders?"

The TMC also slammed the BJP for the deaths of three people by the train accident in the early hours on Friday.

"People were brought in from other districts, herded like sheep and cattle for the PM rally, with no safety protocols, no crowd management, and no concern for human life. And the inevitable happened.

In the wee hours near Taherpur railway station, several men were run over by train No. 31814 (Krishnanagar–Sealdah Local). Three people are dead and more are battling for survival at Krishnanagar hospital.

"They paid with their lives to feed the ego of one man and the vanity of one party", the TMC said.

"This is exactly what BJP's politics stands for. If gambling with ordinary lives helps them inflate numbers, create spectacle, and dominate headlines, they will do it without hesitation. And this is not a first. Time and again, the BJP has played fast and loose with people’s lives. Everywhere they go, they leave behind death and devastation,"
