BJP may go for Lok Sabha polls in December 2023, says Mamata

The Hindu  

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on August 28 said that the BJP might conduct the Lok Sabha polls in December itself, claiming that all choppers have been booked by the saffron party for campaigning. Ms. Banerjee, who was speaking at a TMC youth wing rally, cautioned that a third term for the BJP would ensure the nation faces an “autocratic” rule. The BJP has “already booked all choppers” to campaign in the Lok Sabha polls, so that no other political party can use those for canvassing, Ms. Banerjee claimed. Reacting to Ms. Banerjee's remarks over the general elections, CPI central committee member Sujan Chakraborty said the Chief Minister is an expert in keeping track of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
