Moreover, out of the 4 Member of the Parliaments whom BJP had fielded for the meeting election – Swapan Dasgupta from the Tarkeshwar seat, Babul Supriyo from the Tollygunge seat, Locket Chatterjee from Chuchura seat, Nisith Pramanik from Dinhata seat – all besides Pramanik misplaced.This reveals that there was rather more anti-incumbency towards the person candidates than the CM of the state, Mamata Banerjee. Prashant Kishore very cleverly carried out an overhaul and weeded out the unpopular incumbents from TMC and gave tickets to younger grassroots staff. BJP must introspect on these elements as a result of its voter base could be very delicate in the direction of points like corruption, ideology, clear picture and so forth.If dropping the election was not sufficient, the BJP can be dropping the bigger battle of Bengal ever since outcomes had been declared final month.
