How is the 2021 election in West Bengal different from the previous elections?

This state is completely different from all the other states. Its politics too is different from the other states. In Bengal, the politics is very violent and is run by the mafia. Due to this, the BJP has lost almost 130 party workers. This has been going on since the last four elections. West Bengal is not prospering the way it has to prosper; as dreamt by Rabindranath Tagore and Swami Vivekananda. BJP will get its (West Bengal) greatness back in place once it wins the elections.

Many BJP workers have been killed in Bengal. If your government is formed, what will you do for those families?

The party workers' families will be given compensation and also a member of their family will be given job opportunities as well.

In West Bengal elections, what are the 3 main issues you are raising with the people?

Politics of violence, Appeasement and Development. These are the 3 main matters that we are discussing with the people. We will solve them when BJP gets power and bring prosperity to this state.

Is the Mamata government adopting a policy of appeasement? And while the BJP is talking about non-violence and removing appeasement, what is the plan? Mamata Didi is saying Khela Hobe (Game on). How would you like to answer that?

'Khela Hobe' means taking over the polling booth and scaring voters. She tries to terrorise voters using guns, detonating bombs and goons. But this time there won't be a 'Khela Hobe' as people are aware. If it happens this time, the 'Khela' will happen for the betterment of society.

The BJP has time and again claimed that 'Tolabaji' and 'syndicates' stopped West Bengal's development. Tell us a little about it.

'Tolabaji' means retail corruption which is done by the small goons, for an e.g., if a person has to build a house and the items they require is all decided by the syndicate and goons. This is taken care of by Mamata's nephew Abhishek. BJP will remove all these syndicates and goons from the state and take strict action against them.

How does election impact those living along the borders? What are the issues they face?

Due to the intruders, the situation in the border areas is very bad and the demography has changed completely. There are 70 per cent intruders in those areas. Hindus, who are now only 25-30 per cent, live in fear. A few areas in those regions resemble Pakistan or Bangladesh, not India. A lot of malpractices like fake currency notes, smuggled goods and weapons are coming into those areas from other borders. Once the BJP comes into power, we will shut all the intruders coming into the state and protect our fellow Indians.

As soon as the government is formed, what are the three things the BJP government will do in West Bengal?

First of all, we will end the politics of violence as soon as the BJP government is formed. Secondly, we will end the injustice done to the farmers. Third, will implement the CAA law in Bengal. People who don't have citizenship will get Indian Citizenship under the CAA.

We see a massive crowd attending Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rallies. Can you please tell us how the BJP is planning to win the election?

The Election Commission decided that there will be an eight-phase election in the state to reduce corruption and to remove the fear in the people. This was also done to stop goons who used to capture polling booths with the help of state police. Now it will not be possible at any stage. Central forces have been deployed at every polling station.

Do you want to give a message to the people of West Bengal?

My only request to the public is that from phase one of the voting till the last phase, people should believe in the BJP and Modiji's leadership. BJP will work towards making a 'Sonar Bangla'.
