Following a significant political victory in Bihar, the Bharatiya Janata Party is now directing its formidable electoral machinery towards West Bengal. A series of high-level meetings have already been conducted to formulate a cohesive strategy for the eastern state.
High-Level Meetings Set the Stage
In a clear sign of the party's serious intent, a crucial series of meetings was held in Kolkata throughout September. The primary objective of these gatherings was to ensure seamless coordination between the BJP and its ideological mentor, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). This coordination is considered vital for creating a unified campaign front ahead of the upcoming political battles in Bengal.
Top Leadership to Hit the Campaign Trail
Adding immense firepower to the party's efforts, its most prominent leaders are scheduled to lead from the front. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are both set to address a series of public rallies across West Bengal. Furthermore, top-ranking leaders from the RSS are also expected to participate actively in the campaign, signaling a combined push from the broader Sangh Parivar.
Strategic Implications for Bengal's Political Landscape
The BJP's strategic pivot to Bengal immediately after consolidating its position in Bihar demonstrates its long-term plan for expanding its influence in the state. The direct involvement of the party's top brass and the organizational strength of the RSS are expected to pose a significant challenge to the current ruling party in West Bengal. This move sets the stage for an intense and closely watched political contest.
