According to Mishra, people all over the country are looking at the Bengal elections this time, and it is no ordinary election as this will be about the BJP’s coming into power in this state. He appealed to people to take Bengal back to its earlier glorious times.
The BJP has been introducing the love jihad law in several states where it is in power – such as Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Assam and so on, and it has been opposed by the Opposition parties across the country.
