Addressing a massive rally of Nari Shakti Sanman in North 24 Parganas, he pointed out that 'whatever atrocities happened to the the women at Sandeshkhali were a matter of shame.'
"The TMC government is not worried about the perpetrators of Sandeshkhali, but it is engaged in shielding the offenders.'

"I find the TMC is not depending on the support of mothers and sisters, but it largely depends on the mafia raaj to unleash the terror.
Modi said Sandeshkhali incident will finally uproot the TMC from Bengal, as the women's power was emerging strong over the male-dominated society.'

family. "They are asking about my family. They're saying I talk against 'Parivarvad' because I don't have any family. These people want to know about my family. I want these 'Parivarvadis' to witness the gathering and understand that all the people present here are my family..."
"I have 140 crore people of country are my family, and they are looking after me," Modi said.
'Narrating his childhood days when he roamed around the country penniless, he said after walking away from home, I was fed by the poor family's mothers and sisters, and not a day I remained hungry,' the PM said.
Modi said, "This huge rally of women is proof of how the BJP is making 'Naari Shakti' is the power of 'Viksit Bharat'.
