Hitting out at other opposition parties, Nadda said, “Had there been reports of such violence against women or Dalits in BJP-ruled states, then
All the opposition parties would have joined hands and created a storm.
Bharatiya Janata Party chief JP Nadda on Tuesday exuded confidence that his party would form the government in West Bengal in the 2026 assembly elections.
Virtually addressing the West Bengal BJP executive meeting, Nadda said, “BJP has covered a long distance in Bengal in a short span of time. We had won only two seats in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections and got 18 per cent votes. In the 2016 assembly elections, we got only three seats and a vote share of 10.16 per cent. In 2019, we got 40.25 per cent votes and won 18 out of 42 seats in the Lok Sabha elections.”
He said, “Our vote share in the recently concluded assembly elections was 38.1 per cent and we got 2.27 crore votes, and won 77 seats. In the next five years, BJP will take another big leap and form the government. State. We will achieve this and there will be a BJP government in the state.”
Referring to the post-poll violence in West Bengal, Nadda claimed that no post-poll violence was reported from Assam, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry as TMC was not there.
Nadda said, “After the TMC won the elections, there was unprecedented political violence. 1,399 properties of our workers have been destroyed. There have been 676 incidents of robbery. 108 families have received threats. Our offices in Arambagh and Bishnupur have been burnt by TMC workers. All this happened under the leadership of a woman Chief Minister. There has been a lot of atrocities on women. If women are not safe, then what kind of governance is being given to the people of West Bengal from TMC.”
Nadda alleged that the West Bengal Police remained a mute spectator. He said, “Aadhaar cards and ration cards of BJP workers have been taken. According to the High Powered Committee, the violence in Bengal clearly shows a failure in administration.”
