BJP's IT cell released an audio tape of Trinamool' election strategist Prashant Kishor saying a 'ClubHouse' chat that Modi is hugely popular
The statement came a day after Home Minister Amit Shah's high-voltage West Bengal visit, which saw 34 TMC members crossing over to the BJP

Five days ago, Sharma, on Twitter, announced his tenure with Delhi government is over
Kishor also rubbished the contention that a tie-up with the BJP was in the interest of Bihar, a claim Kumar has been making to defend his realignment with the saffron party
In a direct assault on Kumar's model of governance, Kishor said Bihar was the poorest state in 2005 and continues to be so
In December, Kishor's team identified 200 "influencers" in every constituency and enlisted their support to canvass for the AAP
Kishor had managed the election campaigns of PM Modi in 2014, Bihar CM in 2015, and Punjab CM in 2017.
According to sources, Kishor is preparing in earnest for the Bihar Assembly polls, scheduled for September-October
Kishor like West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has been criticial of Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Population Register
Both leaders have been critical of the party president and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over his support to the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and the National Population Register (NPR)
There was no immediate reaction from leaders of the JD(U), who were stunned by Kishor's action
After 18 years in politics, RCP Singh's political reflexes were appropriately acuminated for him to know it was not the time to sulk or carp
"The JD(U) is a bigger party, has close to 70 MLAs while the BJP has just over 50. Moreover, the assembly elections are to be fought with Nitish Kumar as the NDA face," he said.
