New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Suvendu Adhikari on Friday (March 12, 2021) attacked the Mamata Banerjee-led government and said that the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has turned into a private company where only 'Didi' and 'Bhaipo' can speak freely.
Suvendu Adhikari also said that there is a lack of employment opportunities in West Bengal and to bring a change, there is a need to remove TMC.
The former TMC leader before filing his nomination from the Nandigram constituency for the West Bengal Assembly election 2021 expressed, "I hope to receive people's blessings. I'm confident people will support BJP and bring it for real development in West Bengal. There is no question of any competition."
He added, "The BJP won 18 Parliamentary seats in 2019 and it will form a strong government this time with a huge margin."
Adhikari said, "My relationship with the people of Nandigram is very old. Mamata Banerjee remembers them every five years when polls come. They will defeat her. Today I am also filing my nomination and I am also a voter of the area."
He also interacted with the locals before filing the nomination paper.
Earlier in the day, Suvendu Adhikari sought blessings at the Singha Bahini Mandir and the Janaki Nath Mandir in Sona Chura.
Now, en route to file my Nomination papers as the @BJP4India Candidate from #Nandigram Assembly Constituency. Do join us in #Haldia!
