BJP taking help of actors, MPs for Bengal polls: Actress-turned-TMC leader

Ahead of third phase of West Bengal assembly elections, popular actress-turned-TMC leader Sayantika Banerjee said Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is making actors and MPs contest elections of MLAs.

"BJP is short of candidates because they're making MPs contest MLA polls and are taking help of actors.

They don't make normal people their candidates, they either make MPs as MLAs or take help of celebrity candidates.

Mamata Banerjee will be CM," said Sayantika Banerjee.

Third phase of West Bengal assembly elections is scheduled to be held on April 06.
