“Divide the work into three parts. The first task is to use religious issues and social emotions. The second task is to explain to the people where Bengali was before and where it has come down now. The third task is how democratic rights were hurt in the Left era and what kind of violence was brought down on the right to vote. Send graphics in the form of messages to people. Then people will read. People just don’t want to read the writing. The politics of Mamata Banerjee's vote bank should also be highlighted here,” Shah added.
