The political storm is in full swing in all the poll-bound regions. However, West Bengal remains the highlight. PM Modi addressed a rally in Kolkata on Saturday, beginning the campaign. The PM accused the ruling Trinamool Congress government of trying to protect “infiltrators” during the recently concluded Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
BJP MLA and West Bengal Assembly Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari also expressed confidence that Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress (TMC) will be uprooted in this election.
