‘Development our agenda but…’: BJP's Amit Malviya on 2021 Bengal poll strategy

After having emerged as the largest party in the NDA in Bihar with 78 seats, the BJP is now shifting focus to West Bengal and other states where polls are scheduled in 2021.

Hindustan Times’ Aditi Prasad spoke to BJP leader Amit Malviya on the BJP’s agenda for the states and the charge of polarization that the party often faces.

The BJP leader said that raising genuine issues that concern the people cannot be termed polarization.

‘In West Bengal the brazen minority appeasement of the Mamata Banerjee government is going to be an issue.

The fact that the majority community is at the receiving end of the state’s discriminatory behavior is going to be an issue,’ Amit Malviya told Hindustan Times.

The BJP IT cell head however added that they will not dilute their focus on development but added that the party will not shy away from the inconvenient issues that need to be addressed.

Earlier, Home Minister Amit Shah during his visit to West Bengal had said that the party will win with two-thirds majority in the state.
