He said that now only three days are left for the first phase of elections in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal and the atmosphere has clearly changed in both the states.
He said that there is a lot of anger among the public due to huge corruption, deteriorating law and order and administrative failure in the governments of DMK and Mamata Banerjee. He claimed that his candidates, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and BJP National President Nitin Nabin, are getting tremendous support from the public, which is more than their expectations.

He further alleged that the law and order situation in Tamil Nadu has completely deteriorated and the drug problem is increasing. In tenders, transfers, postings, jobs, sand mining and land allotment, there is corruption everywhere and development has stopped.
What did the Union Minister say about West Bengal??
At the same time, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said that like Tamil Nadu, the administration in West Bengal has completely broken down. The local people of Bengal are suffering from lack of opportunities because problems like infiltration are increasing in the state. Under these circumstances, the wind of change is clearly visible in both the states. He said that the people of both the states want development, want a strong government and change. Therefore, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in West Bengal and AIADMK in Tamil Nadu will win with majority in the coming elections.
