In West Bengal, "double engine sarkar" is the BJP's latest slogan to woo voters in the run up to the Assembly elections. A BJP government each in the state and at the Centre will spur growth, so vote BJP, the logic goes. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's nephew, Abhishek Banerjee, has, however, hit back now. Besides this one, he has also targeted "Jai Sri Ram", with some inadvertent help from state BJP chief Dilip Ghosh, elevating her to the status of Goddess Durga, Bengal's reigning deity and the slayer of demons.
