President of the BJP’s West Bengal unit

“On September 17, ‘ashirwad pradips’ will be lit all over the country for his long and healthy life. The people of Bengal will also bless the PM. We have fought the elections keeping the PM as our face. People said we did not have a face for elections, but we said we didn’t have a mask either.”
