Kolkata: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has released a song titled ‘Aar noy onnay’ to campaign for the upcoming Assembly elections in West Bengal, where it is looking to overthrow the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress government.
The campaign song Aar noy onnay (Bengali for no more injustice ) comes after a number of political killing in West Bengal in the wake of Assembly elections.
As the Assembly elections are drawing nearer in West Bengal, all political parties have intensified their campaign to woo the voters. Bhartiya Janata Party also held a mega rally, which was addressed by none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He went full-throttle against the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress government in the state. Countering Trinamool s Khela hobe campaign slogan, he said, "Trinamool ka khela khatam, vikas shuru. What game have you not played with people of Bengal? Extortion, corruption. you even played with the lives of people. Your game is up." Veteran Bollywood actor, Mithun Chakraborty also joined BJP in the presence of PM Modi. He referred himself as a "pure Cobra, who can kill in just one bite." "I am proud to be a Bengali. I know you love my dialogues. This day is like a dream-come-true experience for me," said Chakraborty, while addressing rally. The 294-member West Bengal Assembly will go to the polls in eight phas
Ranchi: In a twist of events, JMM, which was trying to make a cut in the West Bengal election, on Sunday said it will not put up candidates and canvass for the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) in the neighbouring poll-bound state. RJD’s Tejaswhi Yadav and NCP president Sharad Pawar were instrumental in brokering a truce between JMM and TMC, sources said.
The tribal party, which until last week was eyeing a chunk of the ST seats in the border and northern districts of West Bengal, said it has decided not to contest in the election after consultations with chief minister Hemant Soren, who returned to Ranchi after wrapping up a two-day visit to New Delhi on Sunday evening.
