The BJP this time has nominated Manoj Tigga, BJP's chief whip in the state assembly instead of John Barla. In the last election, the BJP had defeated Trinamool candidates in these three constituencies by a huge margin.
This time also BJP is hopeful, they are going to win again in these three seats. Because BJP is still strong in North Bengal area of West Bengal.
Recently ABP Anand and C-Voter in their poll report indicated that BJP is going to win all three seats in the first phase. Although the Trinamool rejected this argument, the people of the state are still in favor of Mamata Banerjee's development. This time they will strengthen the hands of the India Alliance which defeated the fanatical BJP in these three seats.
