Leader of the Opposition West Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari today launched the BJP’s campaign for the high profile Bhabanipur seat in South Kolkata, where Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is expected to take on.
Mr. Adhikari arrived in Kolkata from Delhi in the morning and headed to Chakberia Road where he inaugurated the party’s Bhabanipur election office and then attended a rally.
Speaking to reporters, Mr. Adhikari said he was encouraged by the response of the assembly and said he would campaign in all parts of the constituency.
“I hope people will accept me,” he said, calling the turnout extraordinary.
Expressing confidence, he said, “I will win by a margin of 25,000 votes. People have shown today that there is no challenge here.” Attacking Banerjee, Mr Adhikari said, “Infiltrator leaders, corruption should be defeated.”
