West Bengal BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar on Wednesday indicated that his party will hit the streets and carry out frequent agitations against the Trinamool Congress government in the state and protest on issues concerning people.
He said politics in the state takes place at the grassroots and the BJP will be seen continuously hitting the road on issues affecting people. With the BJP having suffered a setback in the bypolls to state assembly, he said there are many factors that influence outcome and the onus cannot be left only on the organisation. He said organisational factor contributes about 25 per cent to the poll outcome. "In the coming days, the BJP will be in the mood of agitation...An organisation is part of the election, but it is not the heart. Other factors influence the elections," Majumdar told ANI. TMC won all four bypoll seats - Raiganj, Ranaghat Dakshin, Bagdah and Maniktala. Majumdar expressed concern over the BJP getting very few votes in some booths, saying it had happened in the places with large majority community population. West Bengal Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari on Sunday alleged that more than 50 lakh "Hindus" were not allowed to vote in Lok Sabha polls and over two lahks were not allowed to vote in the by-polls respectively. Adhikari told ANI that he would start a legal battle against this. "Democracy is dead in Bengal. We have started a mass movement today. Nearly 50 Lakh Hindus were not allowed to vote in the Lok Sabha elections. More than 2 lakh Hindus were not allowed to vote in the 4 by-polls held in the state. I am launching a portal. Whoever was not allowed to vote, can register themselves and full secrecy will be ensured. I will start a legal battle also," he said. (ANI)
