In a significant political development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached out to Rekha Patra, the BJP candidate from Basirhat for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Patra, a victim of the Sandeshkhali incident, shared her experience of speaking with the Prime Minister.
Patra expressed her gratitude and determination, saying, “Narendra Modi has given this responsibility to a poor woman. I will carry out the responsibility with all honesty.” She highlighted the ongoing atrocities against women in Sandeshkhali and vowed to contest the elections to ensure their fight for justice continues.
The Prime Minister’s call has further strengthened Patra and her supporters. She said, “PM has given us his blessings and this has further strengthened us. The blessings of all mothers and sisters have made me even stronger…”
In a powerful statement, Patra shared that women have achieved what no one else could. The Prime Minister, recognizing their strength, referred to them as ‘Shakti Swaroopa’, ‘Durga Mata’, and ‘Kaali Mata’. This support, according to Patra, has enabled them to carry their fight forward.
Patra also highlighted a significant issue – the inability to vote since 2011. However, she expressed hope and determination for the upcoming elections, stating, “All women of Basirhat will vote now…”
This interaction between the Prime Minister and the BJP candidate from Basirhat has brought the spotlight on the region and its issues, setting the stage for a closely watched electoral battle.
