Congress Will Spring Surprise In Polls: Party's Bengal In-Charge BK Hariprasad

BK Hariprasad remarks come a day before Rahul Gandhi is expected to campaign for the West Bengal polls for the first time.

A triangular contest is playing out in the West Bengal Assembly polls and the results will spring a surprise with a strong undercurrent against both the TMC and the BJP and in favour of the Left-Congress-ISF alliance, senior Congress leader BK Hariprasad said on Tuesday. BK Hariprasad, who is overseeing the Congress' campaign management for the West Bengal polls as a senior observer, also dismissed claims that the party is not fighting the election with all its might, saying this was a "disinformation campaign of the Nagpur university" people, a reference to the RSS. In a telephonic interview with PTI, he said all Congress leaders, as well as workers, were on the ground in West Bengal and former party chief Rahul Gandhi would be campaigning in the upcoming phases of polls. His remarks come a day before Rahul Gandhi is expected to campaign for the West Bengal polls for the first time.
