Just before the election, West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has appealed to minority voters to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He has made a significant announcement for them. While the opposition is calling this a new strategy by the BJP, the BJP is talking about taking everyone along. Meanwhile, while addressing an election rally in Birulia Bazar, West Bengal Chief Minister Adhikari made a significant appeal, and importantly, this appeal was directed towards minorities.
