WB BJP chief taunts TMC’s Abhishek, invites him to campaign for Falta repoll

Kolkata, May 17: Ahead of the May 21 Falta Assembly repoll, the BJP’s West Bengal unit chief Samik Bhattacharya on Sunday said the TMC has been “sent into exile” by the state’s people and sarcastically invited its leader Abhishek Banerjee to campaign in the constituency.
Bhattacharya questioned Banerjee’s absence from the campaign trail despite Falta being part of the Diamond Harbour Lok Sabha constituency, which is represented by Banerjee.
A day earlier, CM Suvendu Adhikari campaigned in Falta and said that the repoll in the Assembly constituency will “re-establish voter rights where people have not been able to vote for 10 years in parliamentary, assembly and panchayat elections ever since the nephew (Abhishek Banerjee) arrived on the political scene.” (PTI)
