Why Electing Suvendu Adhikari As Leader Of Opposition In West Bengal Matters For BJP| Baat Bharat Ki

The BJP central leadership has, after the passage of a week, finally signalled its intent of standing up to and fighting the Trinamool by facilitating the election of Nandigram MLA Suvendu Adhikari as the head of its legislature party. Adhikari, thus, becomes the leader of opposition and has pipped other contenders, including BJP national vice-president Mukul Roy, to that post. Adhikari will, by virtue of his position as head of the BJP legislature party and Leader of Opposition, emerge as the face of the BJP in Bengal. His election to the post was green-lighted by the party central leadership, which deputed Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and national general secretary Bhupendra Yadav to attend Monday’s meeting of the party’s 77 legislators. Adhikari’s name for election as head of the BJP legislature party was proposed by Dilip Ghosh and seconded by a host of MLAs. Suvendu Adhikari’s election as head of the BJP inside the Assembly is significant because he is perceived to be one of the very few party leaders who has the courage and wherewithal to stand up to the Trinamool’s intimidation and attacks, and lead a fightback as well. This was amply evident over the past one week which saw Adhiakri standing beside his party workers in Nandigram and resisting Trinamool attacks on them. #WestBengal #BJP #SuvenduAdhikari Subscribe to Swarajya on YouTube.
