Assembly Elections 2026 LIVE: PM Modi to address poll rally in Siliguri today

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee took aim at each other on Saturday, April 11, 2026, over the implementation of the Single Civil Code in the poll-bound state.

“BJP’s commitment is to implement the Single Civil Code. By introducing the UCC in the state, we will put an end to the politics of appeasement forever,” Mr. Modi said while addressing a meeting in the Muslim-majority Jangipur area of ​​Murshidabad district.

Ms. Banerjee strongly condemned the UCC. “They mentioned the UCC in the manifesto… I will strongly oppose it. Today they are in the majority, so they will pass the law. Tomorrow, when there is no majority, we will cancel the law… As long as they remain, free and fair elections are not possible,” he said.
