I am bewildered that some political pundits are complaining that the speeches of the new state BJP president @SamikBJP is replete with literary allusions. Actually, his speeches bring in a lot of history of modern Bengal. More important they provide BJP activists a sense of their party’s own history. Samik has been a dedicated party worker since the early-1980s. Predictably, like a lot of us who reposed our political future with the BJP, he was inspired by Atal Behari Vajpayee. This includes his mesmerising political oratory. With @SuvenduWB providing the agitational thrust, Samik’s appointment could help make the state BJP more rounded. Maybe, just maybe, a few deft moves could make the party more acceptable to the orphaned Bengali Bhadralok. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I have high expectations from the Samik-Suvendu synergy.
