"Take revenge through EVM": Bengal CM Suvendu Ahikari turn Nandigram into battle cry

Nandigram, Oct 2 (UNI) West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Friday turned his final Nandigram campaign pitch into an unabashed electoral battle cry, asking voters to ensure a record victory for BJP candidate Hasirani Rath in the October 6 by-election and repeatedly urging them to "clean sweep" the booths.
"On the sixth, take revenge through the EVM," Adhikari told a packed rally, before asking supporters to break the victory-margin records he had secured in Nandigram in previous elections. The BJP has fielded Rath, mother of Chandranath Rath, Adhikari's former aide who was shot dead in May.
Addressing three campaign meetings at Birulia, Debipur and Narayanchawk in Nandigram in support of Rath, Adhikari described her as a "worthy MLA" and said his government would accelerate development in the constituency.
