Predicitng a stronger BJO presence in West Bengal, party president Amit Shah on Tuesday said in Naxalbari that the era of joblessness, violence and nepotism under the Trinamool Congress (TMC) will end soon.

Lunching at the house of a tribal, Shah addressed a rally saying, "I want to point out that from the Communist government to the current TMC government, West Bengal has become poor. Unemployment, nepotism violence has been running rampant. When I see such buoyed response, it gives me confidence."

"The more they torture us, the more they involve in mudslinging, the more they perpetrate violence in the region, it will only help the Lotus to bloom," Shah said.

BJP West Bengal unit president Dilip Ghosh is accompanying Shah on his three-day tour of the state.
