Bengal's Minorities Drifting Away From Trinamool: BJP's Suvendu Adhikari

The minorities have started to move away from Trinamool, but they may also not be in support of the BJP at the moment, said Suvendu Adhikari.

Senior BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari on Saturday alleged that the minorities of West Bengal were "gradually drifting away" from the ruling Trinamool Congress.

He, however, said in the same breath, "They may not also be in favour of the BJP at present."

Speaking at a meeting of the BJP's minority cell, Mr Adhikari said that minorities had showered votes on the Trinamool in the last assembly elections.

"But now they have started to move away from the Trinamool. However, they may also not be in support of the BJP at the moment," he said.
