Kolkata, June 10 : With the apprehension that the party might not be able to field candidates in all the 75,000 seats in the three-tier panchayat in West Bengal, the state unit of BJP is adopting a new campaign strategy for the June 8 rural civic body polls.
He admitted that this strategy is in line with the recent call given by the Leader of the Opposition in West Bengal Suvendu Adhikari where the focus is "no vote to Trinamool". Adhikari's belief is that Trinamool Congress's success in the 2021 Assembly polls was to an extent contributed by "no vote to BJP".
His belief is also that once the ordinary voters are pursued and convinced on this "no vote to Trinamool Congress" campaign- line, BJP as the strongest opposition party in West Bengal now will be the automatic choice in most cases.
Meanwhile, state BJP president Sukanta Majumdar has said that in the campaign for the upcoming polls the focus will be more on door-to-door campaign and small street-corner meetings rather than big rallies considering the limited time of campaign before the polls.
Meanwhile, the state committee leader of BJP said that corruption issued against the state government and ruling party leaders will be the main subject of campaign for the rural civic body polls.
"We are keeping our legal teams ready with the apprehension of massive violence unleashed by the ruling party during the nomination, pre-poll days, polling day and on the day of counting, so that appropriate courts can be approached urgently whenever required," he said.
