Leaders speak in different voices on crucial issues including Article 356
A month after the Assembly polls and after the massive victory of the Trinamool Congress, the rift in the West Bengal unit of the BJP is out in the open with leaders speaking in different voices on crucial issues including Article 356. On Tuesday, Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Suvendu Adhikari met Union Home Minister Amit Shah and party president J.P. Nadda in Delhi. Mr. Adhikari said the situation “is far worse than what is required for the Centre to impose President’s rule under Article 356”. But party leader Rajib Banerjee said on social media that if at “every stage the party tries to scare people by pointing at Delhi and the ghost of Article 356, the people of West Bengal will not take it well”. Both Mr. Adhikari and Mr. Banerjee were Ministers in the TMC government and had joined the BJP months before the Assembly polls. While Mr. Adhikari narrowly won the Nandigram seat defeating Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Mr. Banerjee lost his seat in Domjur in Howrah by a margin of over 40,000 votes.More Related News
