"Bhabanipore must defeat Mamata Banerjee to stop Talibanisation of West Bengal"
"In the journey of a State and it’s people, there comes a time, when people have the opportunity to change the course of history. Today, Bhabanipore, stands at a similar inflection point," - Amit Malviya, BJP IT cell chief
New Delhi: Ending all speculation, the BJP on Friday fielded lawyer and party's youth wing vice president Priyanka Tibriwal from the prestigious Bhabanipur assembly segment where Mamata Banerjee will be putting up her do or die contest.
"I am thankful to the party leadership...I never thought I will get the ticket. My party has seen my connect with the people of West Bengal," said Ms Tibriwal.
"If it's fair polls, I will win election today itself," she said.
Referring to post-poll violence and the manner she took up the legal battle, Ms Tibriwal said "while Mamata Banerjee has forced people out of their house, I have worked hard to give them their house".
For Trinamool Congress supremo the Bhabanipur battle is crucial to continue as Chief Minister as earlier this year, she had lost to BJP's firebrand leader Suvendu Adhikari.
The BJP is set to go with all seriousness for the poll at Bhabanipur and has appointed sitting Lok Sabha MP, Arjun Singh, as the poll observer.
Two other West Bengal BJP MPs Saumitra Khan and Jyotirmay Singh Mahato will assist him as co in charges and 8 BJP MLAs have been given charge of eight wards to go full steam in the constituency.
The BJP also named Sujit Das as party candidate from Jangipur and Milan Ghosh from Samserganj for the by polls.
The by polls to these constituencies will be held on September 30.
The Congress has decided not to field any candidate but the CPI-M has named Srijib Biswas as their nominee.

Amit Malviya tweets:
"In the journey of a State and it’s people, there comes a time, when people have the opportunity to change the course of history. Today, Bhabanipore, stands at a similar inflection point, where Mamata Banerjee’s resounding defeat will mean putting Bengal back on the path to glory.
"Bhabanipore by-poll is not a contest to elect an MLA but to save Bengal from the tyranny of an unelected CM, who has presided over the worst post poll violence in independent India, allowed lumpen elements in her party to murder and rape fellow Bengalis. Pishi must be defeated.
"BJP has announced Priyanka Tibriwal, who represented the victims of post poll violence in Calcutta HC and got the order mandating a CBI and SIT probe, as its candidate from Bhabanipore against Mamata Banerjee. Bhabanipore must defeat Mamata Banerjee to stop Talibanisation of WB."
