Bjp’s vote share dips in bengal shah says rise in people’s trust
The vote share of the Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP) has registered a sharp decline in the West Bengal panchayat polls. The party received 22.88% of votes in the rural polls, a sharp decline from about 38% votes registered in the 2021 Assembly polls.The party is facing another challenge, the Communist Party of India (Marxist), the Congress and the Indian Secular Front are breathing down its neck with a combined vote share of 20.98%.
Union Home Minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah on Friday tried to boost the morale of BJP workers by saying that it doubled its seat tally from the previous election, indicating a significant rise in the trust placed by the people.
“Even bloodcurdling violence in West Bengal could not stop the BJP from putting up a stellar performance in the panchayat election. The BJP nearly doubled its seat tally from the previous election indicating a significant rise in trust. This shows that people’s affection lies with PM @narendramodiJi-led BJP, and will surely lead the party to meteoric heights in Lok Sabha and assembly polls [sic],” Mr. Shah tweeted.
The Trinamool Congress responded by saying that a majority of those killed in the violence were the ruling party’s supporters. “Having failed to fight us fair and square, the BJP resorted to dirty tricks and unleashed unspeakable violence on Trinamool Congress workers,” the party tweeted from its official handle, sharing the list of those killed.
