Accusing Trinamool Congress of running a "corrupt regime" in West Bengal, Union minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore today said BJP is the only alternative in the state.
"Trinamool Congress is running a corrupt regime in the state. Most of its ministers are involved in the corruption. It is only BJP which can provide an alternative to this corrupt regime," Rathore, the Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting, said while addressing a 'Vikas Parv' rally here.
Noting the growth of BJP in Bengal, he said the party will increase its organisational base in the state in the days to come.
"We will bring people from various sections of the society and will grow in the days to come," Rathore said.
Union Minister Jual Oram and BJP national vice president Avinash Rai Khanna said the party will emerge as an alternative to TMC in Bengal.
"Now the political situation in the state is that Congress and CPI-M are fighting for existence," they said, adding people have faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
