New Delhi: Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Amit Malviya on Thursday shared a video alleging that the West Bengal police, on the instructions of chief minister Mamata Banerjee, stopped the screening of Prime Minister Modi’s address to first time voters, on the occasion of National Voters Day, across Bengal, despite valid permissions.

“WB police, on instructions of Mamata Banerjee, stopped the screening of Prime Minister Modi’s address to first-time voters, on the occasion of National Voters Day, across Bengal, despite valid permissions. Shame on Mamata Banerjee for throttling democracy. She must be ousted, to #SaveBengal,” Malviya said while tweeting the video.

Commenting on the incident, Union Minister Smriti Irani said, “Police didn’t come when stones were pelted on Ram bhakts but the police appeared when the PM was addressing youth voters. INDI alliance leaders’ disrespect towards Sanatan Dharam and Lord Ram is evident.”

PM Modi Addresses The First-time Voters

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Thursday pitched for electing a stable government with a strong majority and asked young voters to defeat family-run parties in the Lok Sabha polls, asserting that their votes will decide the course of India’s direction and approach.

In a virtual address to young voters organised by the youth wing of the ruling BJP, Modi said his government took the country out of the darkness staring at youngsters 10-12 years back. The young generation at that time had given up hope on the possibilities being created now, he said.

Here are some of the key takeaways from his address:

• PM Modi asked the youngsters to send their suggestions for the BJP’s manifesto for the elections, expected in April-May, to him through the NaMo app
• “It is Modi’s guarantee that your dreams are my resolve,” PM Modi said
• PM Modi asserting that youngsters have always been his priority and that a host of development schemes like ‘Digital India’, ‘Start-up India’ and reforms in various fields besides the massive spending in infrastructure have created limitless opportunities for them.
• His government has been working day and night to fulfil their dreams and boost their capabilities, PM Modi said
• PM Modi stressed that he has always had trust in them. First-time voters support the BJP’s development agenda
• Taking a swipe at opposition parties, Modi said youngsters are against corruption and “parivarwaad” (nepotism), adding that family-run parties never allow other youngsters to move ahead.
• “The mindset of the leaders of these parties is anti-youth. You have to defeat these family parties with the strength of your votes,” he said in the address on the occasion of the National Voters’ Day.
• The presence of a stable and strong-majority government at the Centre in the last 10 years led to big decisions and the resolution of issues pending for decades, Modi said, citing the abrogation of Article 370, GST roll-out, reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and assemblies and the end to the practice of instant triple talaq among Muslims.
