In a confident assertion amid election buzz, BJP parliamentarian Yogendra Chandolia forecasted his party’s dominance in West Bengal’s assembly polls, insisting the mandate would reflect true voter will over infiltrator influence. Speaking from New Delhi, he highlighted Assam’s impending BJP comeback and extended the triumph to Bengal under PM Modi’s guidance.
Polling dates are set: West Bengal’s 294 constituencies go to the hustings on April 23 and 29, with counting on May 4, as per the Election Commission’s schedule for multiple states. Chandolia rallied, ‘With Modi ji leading, BJP will fight with full force in all five areas and secure governments.’
He lambasted TMC’s regime under Mamata Banerjee for its violent tendencies. ‘Citizens are murdered there. Bengal’s populace yearns to escape TMC’s grip. Their goons may confine BJP members at home and unleash authoritarianism, but it won’t last. The public will show Mamata the door.’
Reacting to Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Ratna pitch for Kanshi Ram, Chandolia endorsed it—citing the leader’s advocacy for laborers and marginalized—yet snubbed Congress’s role. Mayawati, he noted, is strategically leveraging her mentor’s name in the five-state battle. As for Mani Shankar Aiyar’s pro-Pakistan comments, ‘He should relocate if that’s his affinity; his mind isn’t right.’
Chandolia’s remarks signal BJP’s high-stakes push to unseat incumbents, tapping into anti-incumbency and security concerns.
