In the BJP national executive meeting this week, party chief JP Nadda buoyed the West Bengal unit, as he praised it for gains in vote percentage in recent polls and said that the best is yet to come. Leaders back in Bengal conveyed to party workers that now the BJP will concentrate on movements in the state.

The Bharatiya Janata Party in recent days has picked up the fuel price issue in West Bengal, protesting against the Trinamool Congress government for not reducing the Value Added Tax on petrol and diesel. It has also vowed to begin a strong movement on the matter of steep electricity bills.

While the party is looking for revival in Bengal after suffering electoral setbacks in assembly polls and bypolls this year, all is not well in the state unit. The BJP expelled its Howrah wing president on Wednesday after he spoke out against the leader of opposition in the assembly Suvendu Adhikari.
