Just a few days to Bengal assembly polls, the political parties are in the urge to spike in the majority for the game-changing assembly poll. Speaking at an election rally in West Bengal’s Kanthi district, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said, “`Didi` talking about `Duare Sarkar` (govt at doorstep), but she will be shown the door on May 2".

Bengal has brought together the nation through `Vande Mataram`, and on this land, CM Mamata Banerjee was terming people "bohiragoto", he said, announcing that if voted to power, a son of the soil will be made the BJP chief minister of the state.

Addressing an election rally in Kanthi in the Purba Medinipur district, Modi said that Bengal was the land of icons like Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, Rabindranath Tagore, and Subhas Chandra Bose and on this land, no Indian was an outsider.

Modi`s comments came amid an "insider vs outsider" debate with Banerjee asserting regularly that she won`t allow Bengal to be ruled by "outsiders" from Delhi or Gujarat, in a reference to the BJP and the prime minister.

The Trinamool Congress has even launched the `Bangla Nijer Meyeke Chaye` (Bengal wants its own daughter) campaign, with party leaders calling BJP functionaries visiting the state as "election tourists".

Modi said that BJP would make every scheme in the state scam-free and bring in transparency, hitting out at the TMC over `cut money`, `tolabaji` (extortion), and ground-level corruption.

The popular `Duare Sarkar` program was launched by Banerjee`s government months ahead of the election, delivering services through special camps at neighborhoods.
