Vijayvargiya  

The BJP is likely to induct former Kolkata mayor Shobhan Chatterjee and his "close friend" Baishakhi Bandyopadhyay to rub salt on Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee's wounds as she was the one who asked him to step down from TMC minister's post

If ‘resort politics’ being enacted from Bengaluru to Mumbai is making the Congress nervous in Karnataka, it is the low margin of victory in Madhya Pradesh and farmer unrest in Rajasthan that is giving Rahul Gandhi’s party sleepless nights. But how genuine is BJP’s ‘Operation Lotus’?
 

TMC-turned-BJP leader Mukul Roy is engineering this mass defection. Kailash Vijayvargiya, BJP’s leader in charge of Bengal, will be present on the occasion. BJP’s State unit president Dilip Ghosh will preside over a similar programme in Malda, making hundreds of TMC members join his party, and then join Roy in Balurghat.
