Bhabanipur Rematch: Slogan Redefines Mamata-Suvendu CM Stakes
•A BJP slogan in Bhabanipur, "Whoever wins Bhabanipur will become the Chief Minister of Bengal," redefines the high-stakes contest.
•The contest features Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and BJP's Suvendu Adhikari, marking their second direct electoral battle.
•Adhikari downplayed the slogan, attributing it to party workers' emotion, while emphasizing leadership decisions rest with PM Modi and party high command.
•Adhikari's victory over Banerjee in Nandigram previously cemented his political career and led to his appointment as Leader of Opposition.
•BJP's central leadership views Adhikari as a key figure, with senior leaders like Amit Shah expected to attend his nomination filing in Bhabanipur.
