​Eastern front: On the electoral battle in West Bengal

The Hindu  

The Bharatiya Janata Party nurtures high hopes in West Bengal, where it won 18 of the 42 seats, and 40% vote share in 2019. The BJP hopes to perform better in the districts of north Bengal, where it had won seven out of eight seats in 2019, while the Trinamool’s focus is more in the southern districts with a high proportion of Muslim voters. Polarisation of voters on religious lines had helped the BJP in the 2019 Lok Sabha election and the Trinamool in the 2021 Assembly polls, edging out the Left and Congress from the field. For the BJP, West Bengal is not merely about winning more seats but is also about expanding its foothold into a region that claims exceptionalism.
