Bengal Assembly Elections: BJP workers carried pictures of PM Modi and raised slogans of ‘Jai Shri Ram’
Workers distributed sweets outside the party’s state headquarters in Kolkata.
Kolkata. Excited Bharatiya Janata Party workers in parts of West Bengal on Monday celebrated the party’s lead in the state assembly elections. Party workers carried pictures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and raised slogans of ‘Jai Shri Ram’ and slogans in support of Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari. Workers distributed sweets outside the party’s state headquarters in Kolkata.
Similar scenes were witnessed in Kakdwip in South 24 Parganas, considered a Trinamool stronghold, and Bongaon in North 24 Parganas (which has a sizeable population of Matua community), where BJP supporters applied gulal on each other and danced to the party’s campaign song.
Anubhav Bairagi, a BJP supporter in Bongaon, said, “Trinamool had run a misleading campaign about the BJP working against the citizenship of people from the Matua community. The party has already clarified that all Hindus who migrated from Bangladesh will be given citizenship and those who are already citizens have no need to worry.”
