Shah who is on two day tour to West Bengal had lunch at the residence of a ‘Baul’ (folk music of Bengal), he did the same on Saturday at the house of farmer in Medinipur district. This is all to strengthen relations with common people for upcoming assembly polls which are due in April-May 2021.
Shah’s visit witnessed a big blow for Mamata when seven MLAs deserted her and joined BJP. Mamata Banerjee’s trusted aide, Suvendu’s exit can be said to be a big jolt for TMC.
CPI, CPM and congress MLAs also joined BJP in presence of Shah. Mamata called them as defectors as ‘traitors’ but “Mamata formed Trinamnool after her break with the Congress, so should we call her traitor?” Amit Shah questioned.
