200+ seats in Bengal after May 3: Tejasvi Surya

March 04, 2021 18:32

The Bharatiya Janata Party will have its first ever chief minister in West Bengal on May 3, when the results for the assembly election are expected to be declared, BJP MP Tejasvi Surva has promised, adding the party will win at least 200 of the Trinamool-ruled state's 294 seats.

"BJP will win more than 200 seats in West Bengal. (Chief Minister) Mamata Banerjee's days as a chief minister are numbered. On the 3rd of May, West Bengal will have a BJP chief minister," Surya was quoted as saying.

"This is the legacy of the communists which Mamata Banerjee has carried forward but there will be no more bloodshed and political murder politics in West Bengal because BJP will have its chief minister," he added.

Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh said the party will win much more than 200 seats as they had begun preparing for the elections five years ago, when Banerjee had retained power with a massive mandate.

"We will not get less than 200 (seats). It will definitely be more than 200. We did not begin preparations today, we had started five years back," Ghosh said.
