New Delhi: After BJP president JP Nadda, now Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to be in West Bengal on a week's tour ahead of the polls. Meanwhile, speculations are rife as rebel TMC MLA Suvendu Adhikari may join BJP in the presence of Shah.
Adhikari, an MLA from Nandigram in East Midnapore district, had resigned from the West Bengal cabinet last month and resigned from the legislative assembly on Wednesday.
With the visit of Home Minister Shah, BJP is all set to challenge the Mamata Banerjee government and hence inch towards win.
Speaking to ETV Bharat in this regard, BJP national spokesperson, Sudesh Verma said," The way Trinamool Congress' goons are attacking our leaders, it somewhere suggests that the Mamata Banerjee's party is scared, and their party structure is collapsing day by day. Amit Shah Ji's visit will jolt Mamata Banerjee's governmnet. "
"It was bound to happen. Many MLAs left TMC earlier too and joined our party. There's no democracy or respect for people in TMC. Those who want to join in the change in Bengal and contribute to its development are leaving TMC and joining us," he said.
"Today, the Bharatiya Janata Party is at Bengal as a big option and in the coming elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party will defeat the Trinamool and establish power there," he added.
Shah's visit next week assumes immense significance as West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar has been criticising the "worsening" law and order situation in the state. West Bengal BJP leaders have been demanding imposition of President's Rule in the state citing "breakdown of the rule of law".
Although Shah had addressed a virtual rally for West Bengal earlier this year, this will be his first visit to the state after the coronavirus-induced lockdown.
