‘BJP will establish Ram rajya in Bengal’

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) wants to establish Ram rajya, or the rule of Ram, in West Bengal by winning the upcoming assembly polls, BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari said on Tuesday at a rally in East Midnapore district’s Nandigram. He was the legislator from Nandigram before resigning from the state assembly. He joined the BJP on December 19. Chief minister Mamata Banerjee has announced that she will contest the seat alongside Kolkata’s Bhawanipore, her old seat. “Ram rajya means a good ministration that treats Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Christians equally. Everybody gets two square meals a day, a roof over the head and jobs,” Adhikari said. “Many people ask why Suvendu Adhikari joined the BJP. I was insulted for a long time...ministers and leaders mean nothing in the TMC. Only one post matters. Others have to follow orders,” he added, hitting out at the CM.
