Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kailash Vijayvargiya on Wednesday said that the party will not project a chief ministerial candidate for the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections, ANI reported.
Vijayvargiya, the BJP’s central observer for West Bengal, told the news agency that the candidate will be selected after the party wins a majority in the election.
“Nobody is asking about the chief minister face in West Bengal elections,” Vijayvargiya said. “In most of the states where the BJP doesn’t have a government, we fight elections without chief ministerial candidates. Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Assam are examples of this.”
Vijayvargiya claimed that several members from West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress wanted to join the BJP. “There are many people who are unhappy with Mamataji and want to come to our party,” he said. “But we will not accept those leaders involved in cow smuggling, money smuggling and anti-national activities. We will take those who believe in the politics of development and the leadership of Modiji [Prime Minister Narendra Modi].”
