Just before the elections, a strange confusion emerged in Bhawanipur. At what number is Mamata Banerjee’s name in EVM? 2 or 5? Mamata Banerjee appeared angry on this issue. During the road show in Shakespeare Sarani area, he asked the workers, “Who is saying number 2? You told me 5. Tell me after seeing the voter slip.” Later he clearly said β βThe number 2 is correct, 2 means victory.β
On Monday, Mamata Banerjee campaigned door-to-door in her area. Sometimes she reached Shakespeare Sarani, and sometimes she went to high-rise buildings on Lord Sinha Road and asked people for votes. During this time, Firhad Hakim and Jaiprakash Majumdar were also seen with him.
On the other hand, BJP has also given its full strength. Suvendu Adhikari heated the atmosphere by taking out a public relations yatra in Bhawanipur. He said that after the first phase of voting on April 23, he will reach Bhawanipur at 8:30 am and will meet Narendra Modi directly on May 4 with the certificate of victory.
Mamata Banerjee also made a sharp attack on BJP in the meeting and said that today or tomorrow BJP will be out of power, their attitude will not last long.
The eyes of the entire state are now on the voting to be held on 29th April and the results to be declared on 4th May. This seat of Bhawanipur has become not just an election but also a battle for prestige β where every small issue is becoming a big political message.
