Watch the report of Master Stroke with Rubika Liyaquat to understand TMC & BJP's strategy for the 'Nandigram battle'
As many as 35 per cent of Nandigram's voters are Muslims, while many are from the backward castes and rural poor. So Trinamool think-tanks, including Prashant Kishor, reckon they are likely to support Banerjee rather than well-off Marwaris, Gujaratis and Punjabis or even white-collar Bengalis who think her Singur and Nandigram agitations only denied Bengal a tryst with prospective future industrialisation.
Mamata Banerjee made her intention clear on Friday that she will only contest from Nandigram in East Midnapore district, considered a stronghold of newly-inducted BJP leader and once close aid to the Chief Minister, Suvendu Adhikari.
