"We will win more than 35 seats in Bengal," says Rajasthan CM Sharma

Dhanbad (Jharkhand) [India], April 30 (ANI): Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma hailed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and said that the atmosphere has changed in West Bengal today.
"People were filled with excitement and enthusiasm. I saw such a huge roadshow for the first time in West Bengal...We will win more than 35 seats..." he said.
Lashing out at the Congress party, he said, "Congress must be asked why their candidates have been changed."
He further spoke about the Lok Sabha elections in his home state Rajasthan and said, "We will win all the 25 seats."
Earlier in the day, Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami met Rajasthan CM during the election campaign in West Bengal. CM Dhami also invited Sharma to visit Char Dham.
"I assure you that this time in West Bengal, we are going to create history in Lok Sabha elections and even in the upcoming Vidhan Sabha elections...I can say that this time, we will win more than 33 seats in West Bengal. It will be '400 paar' across the country. In Rajasthan, we won all 25 seats in 2014 and 2019. This time too, we will win all 25 seats," said Bhajan Lal Sharma.
Meanwhile, BJP candidate from Srerampur Lok Sabha constituency Kabir Shankar Bose filed a nomination in the presence of Rajasthan CM Bhajan Lal Sharma in Hooghly.
