He said that they would drown Hindus in Bhagirathi in just 2 hours. What kind of language and political culture is this? What is happening to Hindus in Bengal? Looks like the TMC has made the Hindus second class citizens in West Bengal," ANI reported quoting Modi.

Modi also accused TMC of shielding Shahjahan Sheikh in Sandeshkhali case for appeasement. “I want to ask TMC, in Sandeshkhali, our Dalit sisters were served huge injustice. The whole country was demanding action.

However, the TMC was shielding the culprit. Was the reason that the name of the culprit was Shahjahan Sheikh? The TMC is busy in appeasement. Can a vote bank be above humanity?" Modi said.
