 "'Bengal's anti-establishment space going to BJP'")
Bharatiya Janata Party national secretary Siddharth Nath Singh Wednesday claimed that the anti-establishment space in West Bengal is gradually shifting towards the BJP and this would only intensify in the days to come.
Singh, who is party incharge of the state, said political rivals Trinamool Congress and the Left Front were coming together in West Bengal, giving a unique twist to politics in the state.
"The two ideologies... the two opposing parties - the Left and the TMC - are converging and there is a confluence of the two," Singh said at a party function in Howrah district's Sarat Sadan.
"They both (Left and TMC) are working on one principle, and as for the anti-establishment zone it is going totally towards the third party -- the BJP. And in the days to come, this will be more prominent," he said.
