The question dominating West Bengal politics – who will succeed Mamata Banerjee as Chief Minister? – received a straightforward answer from BJP president Sanjay Jaiswal: the voters.
In a packed convention center event, Jaiswal dismantled TMC’s narrative of invincibility, arguing that public anger over cut-money culture, post-poll violence, and stalled development projects is reaching a boiling point. “Didi’s successors are being chosen in air-conditioned rooms, but Bengal’s CM will be chosen at polling booths,” he asserted confidently. This comes amid speculation about Banerjee’s political succession, with names like Abhishek Banerjee floating around.
