New Delhi:
Delhi – won. Bihar – won. Next up, West Bengal.
The BJP’s formidable election-winning machinery survived another round of voter fraud charges this month and resumed its eastward trundle, aiming for Mamata Banerjee and her Trinamool Congress.
Bengal will vote in March-April next year and the BJP, sources told NDTV Monday, has moved on from celebrating a landslide win in Bihar to plotting (yet) another bid to oust didi from Kolkata.
But to do so, sources said, the BJP’s main focus will not be on Mamata Banerjee, or at least not exclusively so. Instead, it will target Trinamool workers with no real loyalty to Abhishek Banerjee.
Banerjee is her nephew and a three-time Lok Sabha MP from Kolkata’s Diamond Harbour. The idea is to cut the party’s ground-level support. That does not, though, mean the Trinamool boss will be ignored.
