BJP bigwigs make religion a poll plank during West Bengal campaign
The Hindu
Three senior BJP leaders including president J.P. Nadda campaigned in West Bengal on Tuesday and raked up religion as a poll plank.
Mr. Nadda, who held a road show and addressed a public meeting in Bankura, wondered why Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced a lockdown on the day of foundation stone laying of Ram Temple in August 2020 but lifted it on the day of muharram. At a rally at Kotulpur in Bankura, he also took a dig at the Chief Minister often repeating “Chandi Path” during her public rallies saying it was too late for her to “amend the wrongs by not allowing Durga Puja immersions”.More Related News
