Union home minister Amit Shah on Saturday promised Bengal a BJP chief minister “from the soil” to counter Mamata Banerjee’s relentless attacks against them for allegedly being the bohiragawto (outsider) trying to deprive the bhumiputro (son of the soil).

Through the day, Shah and others in his entourage including latest Trinamul turncoat Suvendu Adhikari kept trying to portray Mamata as a “narrow-minded regionalist” to offset her offensive of how the bohiragawto from Gujarat would rule Bengal if the BJP came to power .
