HAVING REJECTED the INDIA bloc before the Lok Sabha polls, as well as any seat-sharing adjustment with the Left Front and Congress, Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said her party would provide “outside support” to the Opposition alliance in case it manages to form a government at the Centre.
Veteran politician, Bollywood star and Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader, Shatrughan Sinha, 77, had won from the Asansol parliamentary constituency in a bypoll in 2022 by over 3 lakh votes. He is again contesting on his party’s ticket from the Asansol seat, which is going to polls in the fourth phase of the Lok Sabha polls on May 13. He is pitted against senior BJP leader S S Ahluwalia. In an interview with The Indian Express, Shatrughan speaks on various issues ranging from the BJP’s campaign to his prospects. Excerpts:
In the BJP’s Maldaha Dakshin constituency in West Bengal, its candidate Sreerupa Mitra-Chaudhary has grabbed public attention with her unique campaign style that has also rattled the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC).
During the 104-day shutdown in the Darjeeling Hills in 2017, Pashan Rai was among the thousands who supported the separate Gorkhaland state demand spearheaded by the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM). With the GJM supporting the BJP this time, Rai, a taxi driver, feels the community’s demands may be heard now.
The BJP finally announced its candidate against Trinamool Congress (TMC) national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee in the Lok Sabha election Tuesday, fielding its veteran leader Abhijit Das from the Diamond Harbour constituency in West Bengal. Das was the former president of the BJP’s South 24 Parganas district unit.
In the politically charged landscape of West Bengal, the latest battle between the BJP and the Trinamool Congress (TMC) is over a house.
A political row erupted in West Bengal Saturday in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections after a team of National Investigation Agency (NIA) officials was allegedly attacked by villagers at Bhupatinagar in East Medinipur district, where they had gone to investigate a 2022 bomb blast case in which three people were killed.
Raising the poll temperature in West Bengal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee hit the campaign trail in Cooch Behar Thursday, holding their rallies at two separate venues in the crucial constituency.
