Referring to Trinamool Congress President Mamata BanerjeeIn his defeat in Nandigram during the April-May assembly elections and his by-election in Bhabanipur on 30 September, Dr Sukanta Majumdar, the newly-appointed president of the West Bengal BJP, termed his party a “tiger that tastes of blood” and had earlier put up a tough challenge. took a pledge. Chief Minister.
The Bharatiya Janata Party has fielded advocate Priyanka Tibrewal against Mamata, who is to be elected to the state assembly within six months of taking over as chief minister on May 5.
“We got the taste of defeating her (Mamata Banerjee) in Nandigram,” Majumdar said during a felicitation program at the BJP office in Kolkata’s Hastings area on Tuesday. I would like to commend our leader Suvendu Adhikari for giving an excellent fight in Nandigram. Now there is a by-election in Bhabnipur. It is like any other seat but one thing is different: the Chief Minister himself is contesting from this seat. We found good taste in Nandigram and we will try our best to have the same taste once again. A tiger who has once tasted blood is never satisfied.
On 20 September, BJP national president Jagat Prakash Nadda appointed first-time Lok Sabha MP Majumdar as the head of the West Bengal party unit. Majumdar was elected to the Parliament in 2019 from Balurghat constituency in Dakshin Dinajpur district. She defeated Trinamool MP Arpita Ghosh by a margin of 33,293 votes. Majumdar has a PhD in Botany from North Bengal University.
“The real asset of the state BJP is our party workers. I am ready to face the challenges in Bengal where anarchy is a major concern. My priority would be to strengthen the booths and stand with my booth/party workers. We will contact our party workers, whom we could not meet during the post-poll violence. We will apologize to them and do everything possible to boost the morale of the party workers.
Majumdar said he was confident that the party would win more seats in Bengal in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections than in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The BJP had captured 18 of the state’s 42 constituencies in the last general elections, a huge jump from 2 seats. Won in 2014.
Expressing concern over the “deteriorating law and order situation” in the state, he said, “Bengal is ruled by Taliban. TMC is like Taliban and our fight will be against ‘Talibanisation’ of the state. BJP is here to fight this Taliban rule. To liberate Bengal.
Majumdar has taken over the reins of the BJP Bengal unit at a time when several of its leaders, including former Union minister Babul Supriyo, are recently joining the TMC which has won a decisive victory in the assembly elections. “I don’t want to comment on those who left,” he said. He said, “All I can say is that it will not have much impact on the party because those who are ideologically associated with the party are still there and they are not. Despite having some differences, they are going anywhere. It is a big party and mistakes can happen and we will rectify them. Party workers are real assets and we will continue to keep them close. We will one day be victorious.”
Majumdar replaces Dilip Ghosh, who is known for his controversial remarks. “Once he said that cow’s milk has traces of gold. It was mentioned in one of the international journals on science,” Mazumdar said. “His statement was not correctly reported. We all know that there are foods that contain a lot of iron and this does not mean that we will make sticks of it. It all depends on how you look at things.”
