In Sonachura, a village in Nandigram region, the vehicle of Suvendu Adhikari was surrounded by the supporters of Mamata Banerjee. The TMC-cadres and supporters of Mamata Banerjee started shouting slogans against Suvendu Adhikari calling him Mir Jafar.

Earlier, Mamata Banerjee at a rally in East Midnapore, had severely castigated BJP saying, “Bid farewell to BJP, we do not want BJP. We do not want to see Modi’s face. We do not want riots, loots, Duryodhan, Durshasana, Mir Jafar.” Taking a jibe at the leaders who defected to BJP from TMC, CM Banerjee termed the mass exodus as a good riddance, and called the defectors traitors.

CM Mamata Banerjee had recently upped the ante against her former protégé, Adhikari. At the rally in Tamluk area in East Midnapore, she added that her care for Adhikari was blind and that she will no more tolerate any gaddar (traitor) & that there is no place for Mir Jafars in the party.

CM-Mamata Banerjee also highlighted that the fate of people like Modi and Amit Shah in 2024 LS-elections would be decided by the West Bengal 2021 election.

Suvendu, in his campaign praised the vaccination drive initiated by PM, and again unsurprisingly brought in the name of Pakistan while criticizing the opposition.

The schedule for the upcoming elections in India (four states and a UT) was announced on February, 26, 2021. In West Bengal, the election will be held in 8 phases from March 27, 2021 to April, 29, 2021 and the vote counting will take place on May, 02, 2021.
