In Bengal poll campaign, BJP tries hard to counter ‘fish ban’ image
✦ AI Brief
Bharatiya Janata Party MP Anurag Thakur participated in a public show of eating fish during a poll campaign in West Bengal. This move is part of the party's effort to distance itself from a "veg-only" image in Bengal's predominantly non-vegetarian eating society. Mr. Thakur was seen eating fish and meat with party workers at a local hotel in Kolkata while campaigning for candidates.
