BJP to go alone in Bengal civic polls, no alliance with NCPI, says Samik Bhattacharya
Senior BJP figures in West Bengal, led by Samik Bhattacharya, have ruled out partnering with the Nationalist Congress Party of India (NCPI) for the upcoming Kolkata and Howrah municipal corporation elections. They argue that an alliance would create confusion among party workers at the grassroots level, so the BJP intends to contest the civic polls in the state on its own.
