It's the sign of neo liberal times we live in, where ambition triumphs over commitment to the party & ideology.

if BJP comes to power only then the citizens of the state, specially in Kolkata will understand what freedom was n repent. TMC has done very little good in its tenure, true. but what they didnt do is bring in communal unrest within our society, sure the CM goes to attend the EID namaz once a year for her vote bank, but never did she used her politics to creat difference between different communities which BJP has already started creating. GOD HELP those who are hoping for BJP rule.

Hope bjp wins in bengal. TMC has destroyed bengal over these years

सरकार तो बिजेपिकीही बनेगी, चाहे सिटे कितनीभी मिले। भले इस वर्ष नही तो अगले वर्ष । कर्नाटक, म.प्र. में ऐसाही हुआ। महाराष्ट्र में होनेवाला है, राजस्थान में होते होते रह गया।
अमितभाई असंभव को संभव बनानेकी कला जानते हैं।
काँग्रेस या tmc के ही नहीं, लेफ्ट के एम एल ए भी बीजेपी में जाएंगे।
