India, April 9 -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday referred to chief minister Mamata Banerjee's loss in Nandigram in the 2021 West Bengal assembly elections and said the same would be repeated in Bhabanipur, her constituency in Kolkata, and the rest of the state on the cusp of change after 15 years of Trinamool Congress (TMC) rule.

"Nandigram in East Midnapore showed the path for change five years ago. Now, the entire West Bengal has started walking in that direction. The feat, which Nandigram achieved five years ago, will be repeated in Bhabanipur and the entire Bengal this year," Modi said at a rally at Haldia in East Midnapore ahead of the April 23-29 polls.
