The decision to field Suvendu Adhikari from the Nandigram seat, according to Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh was taken at the BJP&rsquo;s core committee meeting on candidates in Bengal on Thursday.
The assembly elections in West Bengal are set to be held in eight phases between March 27 and April 29. The votes will be counted on May 2.

As Sushanta&nbsp;Pal did squats on stage, some&nbsp;BJP supporters present at the rally chanted &lsquo;Jai Shri Ram&rsquo; slogans. Most others however looked at the spectacle&nbsp;in utter&nbsp;bewilderment.

Chautala&rsquo;s statements come at a time when the BJP is looking to table a legislation in Haryana to check &ldquo;love jihad&rdquo;. Chautala has been at loggerheads with the BJP over the farmers&rsquo; protests as well, and has even threatened to resign if their demands are not dealt with.&nbsp;Several BJP-ruled states, including Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka, have already brought in legislations against &ldquo;love jihad&rdquo;.
