Elections in Bengal are just months away now and the state's BJP unit appears to have recruited the coronavirus in its campaign against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress. "Corona is gone," the BJP's top leader in Bengal declared at a public rally on Thursday, at a time the country is hitting record spikes in coronavirus cases. Dilip Ghosh claimed that Mamata Banerjee was only "pretending" the virus is around and imposing lockdowns for the sole purpose of blocking BJP rallies ahead of elections due next year.
