Kolkata, April 7 (AHN) BJP candidate from Galsi Assembly constituency in West Bengal’s East Burdwan district, Raju Patra, on Tuesday came to file his nomination on a bulldozer.

His message was loud and clear. He will wipe out everything from atrocities, corruption, torture of mothers and sisters, to lack of development, with a bulldozer, if he wins the election. Along with that, he will stand by the Hindus' side.

A different level of campaigning strategy was seen in East Burdwan on Tuesday. BJP candidate Raju Patra, who came to file his nomination on a bulldozer, attracted attention.

He claimed that 'Bulldozer Raj' will be introduced in West Bengal to curb crimes like murder, rape and extortion, inspired by the ‘bulldozer model’ of Uttar Pradesh.

"A bulldozer model would be implemented in West Bengal to curb crimes like murder, rape, and extortion after taking inspiration from Uttar Pradesh. I will ensure that no such crimes take place once I am elected," the BJP candidate told local media persons.
