Baby Chakraborty, KalimNews, September 26, 2024, Basirhat: Following the death of Haji Nurul Islam, state opposition leader Shuvendu Adhikari addressed the media regarding BJP candidate Rekha Patra from the Basirhat Lok Sabha constituency. He emphasized that any death is tragic and expressed condolences for the late Trinamool MP.
With the Basirhat constituency now vacant, questions are arising about the BJP’s chances of success in the upcoming by-election. When asked if the BJP would field Rekha Patra again, Shuvendu pointed out that by-elections are mandated by the Election Commission in such circumstances. He noted the significance of the Basirhat constituency and recalled how the Maniktala assembly constituency experienced delays in voting due to election petitions following the passing of state minister Sadhan Pandey.
As speculation grows about the BJP’s strategy in the Basirhat constituency, Shuvendu Adhikari’s comments highlight the complexities surrounding the political landscape following recent events.
