Kolkata | BJP Chief Amit Shah said that if voted to power, only a Bengali will become the Chief Minister of Bengal and no one else.
Addressing people at a hotel in Kolkata’s northeast, “Don’t try to scare us referring as ‘bahari bahari’ (outsider). Neither I nor Kailash Vijayvargiya is going to contest elections here. If BJP comes to power, a Bengali gentleman, or lady, is going to be the chief minister”, Amit Shah announced.
Kailash Vijayvargiya, who hails from Madhya Pradesh, is BJP’s national general secretary who is in charge of the party in Bengal.
He said that even the MPs on the state are not outsiders.
“No one will come from outside. A Bengali will be the chief minister and all our MPs will be those carrying the fragrance of the soil of Bengal”, he said.
Amit Shah’s remarks come following the growing unrest created by TMC who claims that the BJP is trying to induce North Indian culture and are trying to win the elections with leaders from different states.
State assembly elections in Bengal will be held in 2020.
