The political landscape of Egra witnessed a seismic shift as the BJP orchestrated a high-profile “Mega Show,” resulting in a significant defection from the TMC. Renowned businessman Ashis Dhawa, along with 25 families, officially joined the BJP in the presence of Suvendu Adhikari and Sisir Adhikari.

Addressing a massive gathering, Suvendu Adhikari expressed unwavering confidence in the party’s victory, predicting that BJP would sweep over 200 seats to form the next government. He emphasized the impact of pro-people projects and central schemes. Meanwhile, BJP candidate Dibyendu launched a scathing attack on the sitting MLA, citing deep-rooted resentment over local governance and unfulfilled promises. This strategic induction of influential locals is seen as a major boost for the saffron camp in the region, leaving the ruling party on the backfoot ahead of the polls.
