A local BJP official summed it up perfectly-- Every time Mamata Banerjee attacked the BJP, its enrollment numbers would go through the roof. However it did offer an opportunity for ABVP and by extension the local BJP to be freedom-of-expression victim for a change. When syndicate politics became an electoral issue, BJP was pretty much the only party that could claim to be untouched by it. The party has no connection with it.”That makes the BJP look even more weak that it cannot control its own footsoldiers and student union leaders. That seems to be the modus operandi of the BJP in West Bengal.
