Kolkata, Apr 19 (PTI) Tennis icon-turned-BJP leader Leander Paes on Sunday said a double-engine government will propel West Bengal to the path of growth and development.
Paes, who joined the BJP on March 31, said he wants to work for the people of West Bengal.
The BJP leader, who took part in a road show for party candidate in North Dumdum constituency Sourav Sikadar, said that if one looks at the history of West Bengal, whenever there was a double-engine government, it facilitated the state’s development.
“When there will be a BJP government in West Bengal that will cement a great partnership with the government at the Centre”, and give push to the momentum of development, he said.
Paes said he wants to support the people of West Bengal and work for them, “as my family and I belong to this state”.
The tennis legend said that under the leadership of Narendra Modi, he will work to empower every Indian across the country, which will play an important role in development.
Paes refrained from commenting on the TMC, the party he had joined in 2021, making his debut in politics. The election to the 294-member West Bengal assembly will be held on April 23 and 29, and votes will be counted on May 4. PTI SUS NN NN
