Nadda’s mega poll campaign push in Bengal

The battle for Bengal is heating up with BJP resorting to strong electioneering and high-octane campaign as state goes to polls next year.

In politically polarised Bengal, BJP has emerged as the main rival of ruling TMC in 2019 general election, winning 18 of 42 Lok Sabha seats in the state.

With top leaders descending to Bengal, the saffron party workers are upbeat that the party will put an end to Banerjee’s 10-year rule.
