Kolkata, Mar 11 (UNI) The crowd at Prime Minister Narendra Modi s rally at historical Brigade Parade ground on Sunday last must have warmed the cockles of the BJP s heart as its strength matched that of public rallies held by former West Bengal chief minister Jyoti Basu, or even the incumbent, Mamata Banerjee.
BJP’s national general secretary and central observer of Bengal Kailash Vijayvargiya said, “This gathering proves BJP is coming to power and Didi is going out of power.
