Suvendu Adhikari calls for abandoning "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas" and shutting down Minority Morcha
Kolkata: Suvendu Adhikari, Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, has called for abandoning the "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas" slogan. During a public event where he raised slogans of "Jai Shri Ram," Adhikari asserted that the BJP will now determine its supporters and extend support accordingly. He emphasized a focus on securing Hindu votes, stating, "We will win and protect Hindus. Those who are with us are with us. Stop Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas. There is no need for a Minority Morcha. Stop it. We will uphold the Constitution."
This statement of BJP leader Shubhendu Adhikari is important because PM Narendra Modi himself has given the slogan of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and Sabka Vishwas. In such a situation, his talk of moving away from this slogan matters. Shubhendu Adhikari made it clear through his speech that BJP will now engage in polarization of Hindu votes in Bengal. It had also tried this with incidents like Sandeshkhali, but now it can be aggressive on this agenda.

The BJP in Bengal perceives a need to counteract the unified Muslim vote that benefited the TMC in recent elections, aiming instead to consolidate Hindu votes under its banner.
I have spoken about nationalist Muslims & you said "Sabka sath, sabka vikas". But I wont say it anymore. Rather we shall now say "Jo hamare sath hum unke sath. Sabka sath sabka vikas band karo", No need of minority morcha. : BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari pic.twitter.com/3vyQpjxBw8

Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
