With eye on the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections due in April-May this year, the BJP has stepped up its efforts to appropriate the legacy of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. His 125th Birth Anniversary commences on January 23, 2021, coinciding with the impending State Assembly elections due in April-May.
It has come in handy for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make a renewed bid to stake claim to Bose legacy, as BJP does not have illustrious history or leadership and ends up borrowing leaders from the Congress pantheon.
