Key themes from the campaign speech of Suvendu Adhikari, BJP leader and Leader of the Opposition: “This assembly election is extremely important for the ‘Bengali Hindu homeland.’ The way Bangladeshi Muslims have been allowed into West Bengal, and the barbed wire fences along the Bangladesh border have been opened, has led to the decline of this land. The Hindu population has been decreasing since the 1991 census, and after the next census, our situation will be like that of Hindus in Murshidabad.”
