PM Modi holds mega rally in Kolkata

As the Assembly elections are drawing nearer in West Bengal, all political parties have intensified their campaign to woo the voters. Bhartiya Janata Party also held a mega rally, which was addressed by none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He went full-throttle against the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress government in the state. Countering Trinamool's 'Khela hobe' campaign slogan, he said, "Trinamool ka khela khatam, vikas shuru... What game have you not played with people of Bengal? Extortion, corruption... you even played with the lives of people. Your game is up." Veteran Bollywood actor, Mithun Chakraborty also joined BJP in the presence of PM Modi. He referred himself as a "pure Cobra, who can kill in just one bite." "I am proud to be a Bengali. I know you love my dialogues. This day is like a dream-come-true experience for me," said Chakraborty, while addressing rally. The 294-member West Bengal Assembly will go to the polls in eight phases between March 27 and April 29. The counting of votes will take place on May 2.
