Senior party members are leaving TMC. Didi accuses BJP of inducing party members to defect. But I want to ask her when she quit Congress to form TMC, was it not defection? This is just the start. She will be left alone by the election. When results of Vidhan Sabha election will be declared BJP will form the government with more than 200 seats. You gave three decades to Congress, 27 years to Communists and 10 years to Mamata didi. Give 5 years to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), we will make Bengal 'Sonar Bangla': Union Home Minister and BJP leader Amit Shah in Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal.
