The BJP’s yatra aims to cover all 42 Lok Sabha seats in the state, Trinamool counters with a planned ‘purification’ drive.
To bump up its visibility in West Bengal ahead of the Lok Sabha election next year, the BJP plans to take its more than month-long rath yatra through all 42 parliamentary constituencies in the state. Starting from Cooch Behar in north Bengal on December 7, in the presence of party national president Amit Shah, the ‘grand procession’ is to culminate into a massive show of strength in Kolkata.
Curiously though, the West Bengal administration has been sitting on the BJP’s application seeking permission for the yatra. BJP leaders say they will press ahead with their plans nonetheless. “We are going ahead, with or without permission,” says BJP state general secretary Debasree Chaudhuri. The party, however, has also sought the Calcutta High Court’s intervention.
