Kolkata, Apr 25:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi tries his hand in photography during a boat ride on the Hooghly river, in Kolkata, on Friday.
Modi on Friday sharpened the BJPâs pitch for regime change in West Bengal, claiming that the first phase of polling has sealed a âwave of changeâ in the state and signalled the beginning of the end of the TMCâs âmaha jungle rajâ.
Addressing a poll rally at Panihati under the Dum Dum Lok Sabha constituency in North 24 Parganas district, Modi framed the high voter turnout as an endorsement of the BJPâs campaign for change and a rejection of what he described as the TMCâs âdictatorshipâ.
Nearly 93 per cent of the 3.60 crore electors voted in the first phase of the West Bengal assembly polls on Thursday.
