BJP committed to women's security, Trinamool ‘stands with goons who torture women’: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (April 26, 2026) accused the Trinamool Congress of "sheltering goons who torture women", and said the BJP was giving poll tickets to Sandeshkhali's Rekha Patra and the mother of the RG Kar victim is proof of the party's commitment to ensuring women's security.

Speaking at the Matua community citadel of Thakurnagar at Bongaon in North 24 Parganas district, Mr. Modi also said all refugees who took shelter in India following religious persecution in the neighbouring nation will be granted citizenship through procedures outlined under the Citizenship Amendment Act.
