West Bengal BJP leadership has publicly denied reports that former TMC councillors are being fielded in the upcoming municipal elections. A BJP spokesperson stated that the party’s candidate selection process is internal and that no ex‑TMC members are on the ballot.

The statement was issued in response to rumours circulating on social media and local news outlets. BJP officials emphasised that all candidates will come from within the party’s own cadre.

The party urged voters to focus on its own nominees and to disregard unverified claims about opposition personnel. The clarification comes just weeks before the municipal polls are set to take place across the state.

By addressing the rumours, BJP aims to prevent misinformation and keep the election discourse focused on its own campaign strategies.
