Apart from organising pujas, party leaders and workers have been told to participate in full fervor in the festivities, which traditionally involves students, on Monday. The move comes at a time when apart from bypolls to Lok Sabha and Assembly constituencies and panchayat polls are just around the corner in the state.

“Saraswati Puja is not just a religious festival in West Bengal. Rather it is a part and parcel of Bengal’s culture. So this year we will participate in the festival in a major way this time,” said Dilip Ghosh, BJP state chief. “Trinamool Congress had been traditionally exploiting Saraswati Puja, among other festivities as a medium to make mass contact and we are advised that this year BJP leaders and activists should do the same to challenge the state’s ruling party in its own turf,” the state BJP chief said.
