BJP MP Nitin Nabin said the party should now focus on removing Rahul Gandhi from Delhi, following the recent political shift in West Bengal.
BJP parliamentarian Nitin Nabin, speaking at a press briefing in New Delhi, asserted that the party’s next strategic target should be the removal of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi from the capital’s political arena. He linked the statement to the recent decline of Mamata Banerjee’s influence in West Bengal, suggesting a similar approach could be applied in Delhi.
Nabin emphasized that the BJP’s victory in Bengal, which he described as “Mamata‑free,” has created momentum for the party to challenge Congress strongholds elsewhere. He urged senior party officials to intensify campaigning and grassroots outreach in Delhi to diminish Rahul Gandhi’s presence.
The remarks came amid ongoing preparations for upcoming state elections and the next general election cycle. While no concrete plan was disclosed, Nabin’s comments signal a heightened focus on Delhi as a key battleground for the BJP.
Political analysts note that such statements are part of the party’s broader narrative of expanding its dominance beyond traditional strongholds. The Congress has not responded publicly to Nabin’s remarks as of now.
