New Delhi| On Tuesday, the Union Home Minister Amit Shah held a roadshow in support of party candidate Shubhendu Adhikari in the Nandigram Assembly constituency of West Bengal, where Shubhendu is pitted against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. During the roadshow, Shah said in Nandigram that Shubhendu would defeat Mamata Banerjee by a huge margin. Shah along with the officer greeted a large number of people standing on the roadside between Bethuria and Rayapara.
The slogans of ‘Jai Shri Ram’ kept echoing during the roadshow. The posters on the vehicle on which Shah and the officer were standing, read, ‘Banglaayar Aibar Asol Poribortan’. At the same time, Mamta Banerjee also did a four-kilometer-long roadshow. This was the last day of campaigning in Nandigram.
Shah said that it has become clear from the reaction of the people who is going to win in Nandigram.
He said, “There is BJP everywhere in West Bengal! I am confident that Nandigram will become the epicenter of Poribortan (Parivartan) in Bengal. See these pictures of the crowded streets of Nandigram.”
Shah also did roadshows in Debra in East Medinipur and Panskura in Medinipur and shared many pictures of him on social media, showing the overcrowded crowd.
He tweeted, “Seeing the enthusiasm among the people of Nandigram, it is clear that BJP candidate from Nandigram is going to win Shubhendu Adhikari. The easiest way to get Poribortan is to ensure that Mamta didi loses from here.”
The election campaign in Nandigram ended at 5 pm. The constituency will go to polls on April 1 in the second phase of the assembly elections.
