At a time when the opposition CPI-M party is busy in last minute preparations by intensifying their campaign in Boxanagar assembly constituency ahead of the bye-elections scheduled to be held on September 5 next, the ruling BJP is gaining the ground with a larger section of voters from the opposition bastion joining BJP.
Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha on Monday welcomed over 200 voters of different opposition parties ahead of the election at Boxanagar and expressed his confidence of sweeping the bye-elections in both the Boxanagar and Dhanpur assembly constituency.
He said that the voters of both the constituencies are ready to reject the oppositions, especially the CPI-M in this upcoming bye-elections.

“They are now ready to bloom Lotus in the bye-election scheduled on Sept 5,” he claimed, adding that the BJP always believes in "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas", while CPIM has consistently played politics of divide and rule.
