West Bengal Assembly Polls 2021: BJP Workers Protest Against Tickets To Former TMC Candidates

Rift between old-timers & newcomers in West Bengal BJP came out in the open as several aspirants voiced their anguish against the party & resigned. This comes after they were denied tickets for the assembly elections, while protests were held across the state. BJP leader & TMC turncoat Sovan Chatterjee along with his friend Baisakhi Bandopadhyay quit the party after both of them were denied tickets. Chatterjee\'s constituency for several decades, Behala Purba, was given to actor-turned- politician Payel Sarkar, who joined the party a few days back. In Hooghly district's Singur assembly constituency, BJP activists locked up party functionaries over the nomination of TMC turncoat & sitting MLA Rabindranath Bhattacharya. Protests were also held in various other constituencies after ticket aspirants did not find their names in the list.
