Bengal BJP urges PM Modi to contest from West Bengal
Buniadpur, Apr 20 (IBNS): The West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to contest the Lok Sabha polls from a seat in the eastern state.
Modi is already contesting from Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi.
Interacting with media, state BJP leader Mukul Roy said: "Even after the third phase of elections, there will be still around 30 seats to be polled in the state. We have urged Narendra Modi to contest from the state to rescue people from the Mamata Banerjee regime."
Upon Modi's reaction to the appeal, Roy said: "He (Narendra Modi) smiled but didn't say no."
In the 2014 General Elections, Modi, who was then BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate, contested from two seats, Vadodara and Varanasi. Later he kept Varanasi.
Modi addressed a rally at Buniadpur in West Bengal's North Dinachpur district.
Escalating voice against his rival Trinamool Congress at its bastion, the Prime Minister on Saturday exuded confidence in BJP's success in the Lok Sabha polls saying West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee can't sleep after the first two phases of elections.
"The report of first and second phases of elections in Bengal ran speed breaker Didi sleepless," Modi, the main campaigner for the BJP, said at Buniadpur rally in West Bengal's South Dinajpur district.
