BJP Not An "Outsider": In Kolkata, Amit Shah Cites Syama Prasad Mookerjee | Read
BJP chief Amit Shah today claimed that the perception that Bengal and the BJP are ideologically far apart is erroneous. Syama Prasad Mookerjee, the ideologue who founded the Jana Sangh - from which the BJP evolved - was the big link between the two, claimed the Union home minister during his visit to Kolkata today. Launching a scathing attack on the state's ruling Trinamool Congress, he said, "They are trying to say BJP is an outsider party, it doesn't have anything to do with Bengal".
