To make the double-engine government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi more prosperous, I appeal to the voters of Ramnagar to press the ‘Lotus Symbol’ on April 19 and ensure Dipak Majumder’s victory with majority of votes.”
The Ramnagar seat fell vacant after the demise of BJP MLA Surajit Dutta died on December 28 last year following prolonged illness, necessitating the bypoll.
