This announcement comes a day after Vijayvargiya
slammed Mamata Banerjee’s government of
indulging in “politics of violence.”

“Mamata
Banerjee’s government and ‘politics of violence’ are synonymous. Bengal’s image
is being maligned. Every day, BJP workers are attacked by TMC goons, while the
police play the role of bystanders. It is the most unfortunate facet of the
state,” he said, ANI reported.

The assembly elections for 294 seats of the West Bengal Legislative
Assembly are scheduled to be held later this year.

Meanwhile, Trinamool Congress supremo recently announced that she would
contest the election from her former aide Suvendu Adhikari’s turf, Nandigram.
