Meanwhile, BJP’s national general secretary Ram Madhab, talking to the media, said that the party is going to name its candidates for the Rajya Sabha poll within a day or two. Expressing his confidence of the BJP coming to power at Dispur in 2021, Madhab said, “The State government has done many good works during its term. The BJP will make it to Dispur again with the strength of its good deeds.”

Madhab further said, “We hope to make it to Kolkata also in the next Assembly election. Home Minister Amit Shah has already addressed a number of rallies in West Bengal.”
