Kolkata, April 13 (NationPress) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in West Bengal has alleged that the Trinamool Congress (TMC) is disseminating false and misleading reports through the media, claiming they are based on fictitious "internal surveys" of the BJP ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections.
In a statement released on social media, the BJP's state unit asserted that no such internal survey has been conducted and accused the ruling TMC of spreading misinformation out of fear regarding the forthcoming elections.
“There is no internal survey from the Bharatiya Janata Party. The significant support for the BJP in West Bengal has evidently unsettled the Trinamool Congress, prompting them to create such slanderous claims to shift attention from pressing issues,” the statement from the BJP declared.
The party also emphasized that this election is not just a contest among political parties but rather a direct battle between the citizens of West Bengal and the corrupt Trinamool Congress regime.
“This election represents a direct confrontation between the populace of West Bengal and the criminal TMC administration. The BJP is confident in achieving a clear majority and leading the next government,” the statement continued.
BJP's Information Technology cell chief and the central observer for West Bengal, Amit Malviya, echoed this message on his personal social media account.
“For some time, we have seen media articles citing these fictitious internal surveys attributed to our party. Hence, on Monday, we issued our official clarification regarding this matter,” a member of the BJP's state committee remarked.
The assembly elections in West Bengal will take place in two phases on April 23 and April 29. The first phase will involve voting in 152 assembly constituencies, while the second phase will cover the remaining 142. Results are set to be announced on May 4.
