BJP may add more Bengalis in Modi cabinet to steamroll Mamata in 2021 assembly poll to seaken the TMC and its cadre and clamp down on the Trinamool's myriad corruption cases. The BJP with 18 MPs from a state that had so far resisted it, the saffron party is likely to give a number of cabinet berths as part of its plan ahead of the 2021 assembly polls.
Supriyo has received a call to be part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's new cabinet, party sources indicated that the list also included Raigunj MP Debasree Chaudhuri who defeated Left leader Mohammad Salim from the Raiganj seat.
He quoted saying "The BJP MPs will also campaign in the state but the issue at hand will not be focused around a project here and there. Instead, the MPs will campaign on the plank of Modi, on the work that he is doing and how Banerjee is continuing to act like a speed-breaker for development."
The immediate challenge for the BJP though will be the Municipal Elections in the state next year. With over 50 councillors joining the BJP, the party is all set to capture four municipalities in the North 24 Parganas district.
MP and former Bhatpara municipality chairman Arjun Singh said, "It is just the matter of time." With the TMC's strength now concentrated in the urban areas around Kolkata, BJP leaders said the party would soon make inroads in suburbs of Kolkata, including Biddhannagar and Barasat.
