By A Staff Reporter

He has professed a clear approach to divide Bengal. He has unequivocally demanded a union territory status or a separate state for Cooch Behar.  

Meet Anant Maharaj of Cooch Behar. After a recent meeting with Trinamool turned BJP leader and junior union home minister Nisith Pramanik in his home in Cooch Behar, Anant Maharaj had allegedly mentioned that “union territory for Cooch Behar and certain areas of north Bengal are a formality.”

BJP announced his name as the BJP candidate from West Bengal for the sole Rajya Sabha seat that the party is sure of winning due to the strength of their numbers in the state assembly. The nomination has created jitters within the BJP with party insiders claiming that loyal and old timers and experienced politicians are being sidelined for”decisive politics.”
