The BJP central leadership has decided to tighten the cash flow to its Bengal candidates in the remaining phases, multiple sources in the party told
The Telegraph although its chief spokesperson in the state denied such a move.
As with everything else in elections, there was no unanimity on the reasons cited. A section of the party said the cash flow was being squeezed following an internal assessment that the performance in the third phase had not been satisfactory. But others felt that it could be merely to ensure financial prudence.
Asked whether the fist was being tightened, Samik Bhattacharya, the chief spokesperson of the state BJP, said: “This information isn’t true.”
