He said first Left government and then TMC government did not let industries develop here. The kind of work that should have been done for irrigation, did not take place.

“I know the problems faced in rearing livestock due to less water. TMC government was busy in its ‘khel’ by leaving farming on its own. These people have given Purulia a life riddled with water crisis. They have given Purulia, migration. They have given the poor of Purulia, discriminatory governance. They have given Purulia an identity of being one of the most backward areas of the country,” Mr Modi reminded and adding that the government here was also encouraging the Maoists activities.

He said once the BJP formed the government there will be more focus on skill development, so that the youths from Dalit, Adivasi and backward areas can also get connected with employment opportunities.

“It will be ensured that Chhau artists, handicrafts here get other facilities related to earning and honors.” (UNI)
