Observing that the Trinamool Congress has been stripped of its name and symbol, West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari said that the electors from the minority community in Rejinagar have an opportunity this bypoll to vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

“Rejinagar will stand with the government in this bypoll. I am confident that the BJP candidate will emerge victorious. Communal polarisation will not work in Rejinagar this time. Minorities who didn’t vote for the BJP all these years have said they will not waste their votes in this election,” Mr. Adhikari said, addressing a public meeting at Rejinagar on Thursday.

The Chief Minister urged the electorate not to engage in 'Hindu-Muslim politics’ and said that all nationalist forces should vote for BJP. Rejinagar, located in West Bengal’s Murshidabad district, is a minority-dominated constituency, with 70% of voters being Muslims. Bypolls at Rejinagar and Nandigram are scheduled on October 6.
