Kolkata, Nov 23 (NationPress) Following the significant electoral victory in the recent Bihar Assembly elections, the BJP's leadership at the national level is gearing up for an ambitious campaign involving Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, set to kick off next month.
The current strategy includes organizing a minimum of two large-scale public rallies in the state each month until the announcement of the polling date for the West Bengal Assembly elections in 2026. One of these rallies will feature the Prime Minister, while the other will be addressed by the Union Home Minister.
“Once the election dates are confirmed, we plan to increase the frequency of these monthly public gatherings. Our state party president, Samik Bhattacharya, will travel to Delhi this week to finalize tentative dates and locations for the rallies leading up to the election dates. We aim to hold events in areas that can cover multiple districts simultaneously,” stated a member of the state committee of the BJP in West Bengal.
The BJP’s approach to campaigning in West Bengal will be phased, focusing on five organizational zones within the party.
In the wake of the decisive victory of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar, both state and central leaders have rallied around the slogan: “After Odisha in 2024, Bihar in 2025, it will be Bengal in 2026.”
Political analysts believe that the BJP's decision to launch mega campaign rallies in West Bengal featuring both the Prime Minister and the Union Home Minister this early demonstrates that the slogan is more than just a battle cry; it indicates the seriousness with which the central BJP leadership regards the West Bengal elections.
A BJP state committee member noted that in addition to traditional campaigning, the party is significantly investing in digital outreach this time, leveraging their newly launched state-specific website, namoyavawarriors.com, which was officially introduced earlier this month.
