Rift In Bengal BJP Ahead Of Assembly Polls? Here’s How Suvendu-Sukanta Ties Seem To Be Freezing

The rift in the Bengal BJP seems to be widening by the day, and this comes with less than a year left for the Assembly polls. BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar has now turned down Leader of Opposition in Bengal Assembly Subhendu Adhikari's proposal to observe 'Ganatantra Hatya Diwas', which roughly translates to 'Day When Democracy Died', on July 21. Trinamool Congress observes July 21 as 'Martyr's Day' in memory of the 13 people killed in police firing at a Youth Congress rally against the Left Front government in 1993.  The rift in Bengal BJP started with Suvendu Adhikari's call to abandon PM Modi's mantra of 'sabka saath, sabka vikas'. Suvendu had said: "I have talked about nationalist Muslims. You, too, have talked about 'sabka sath, sabka vikaas'...

In the chapter named ‘Annus Horribilis (2021) and Hope (2023)’, the former Sangh insider tears into Vijayvargiya, Ghosh along with RSS functionaries Shiv Prakash and Arvind Menon for the adverse poll results. “Kailash Vijayvargiya served as the general secretary of the central party, and hails from Indore, Madhya Pradesh. He was reportedly at odds with the top BJP leadership in MP, leading to his relocation to the central office in New Delhi and later to Kolkata. Without meaning any disrespect, the person had the visage of a chimpanzee with a drooping moustache, and when he talked normally one got the impression that he was grimacing. One’s looks do matter in politics,” Roy writes.Shiv Prakash, according to Roy, was a “sensible person” facing a police case.“Arvind Menon, once a sangh pr...
