Fadnavis says will win WB poll; Ghosh shown black flags

- ARITRA SINGHA

While former Maharashtr­a CM Devendra Fadnavis said the BJP would win over 200 seats, West Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh was shown black flags in Darjeeling.

Taking part in West Bengal BJP’s Parivartan Yatra in Kultali in South 24 Parganas, Fadnavis claimed the enthusiasm of people in West Bengal is saying the BJP will form the next government in the state with over 200 seats.

“The people of West Bengal know only BJP can bring in a real change to the state. The people are coming out in large numbers while the BJP’s yatra is crossing their locality, the answer is loud and clear,” said Fadnavis.

However, West Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh was again shown ‘black flags’ by the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) supporters during his visit to Darjeeling after almost 3 years for attending party’s Parivartan Yatra.

The GJM supporters said despite having a BJP MP for years, the BJP had always neglected the hills.

Amid the ‘Go Back’ slogan, Ghosh was heard stating supporters of Bimal Gurung and TMC are unnecessar­ily spreading tension being afraid of the rise of the BJP in West Bengal.
