Top leadership gears up for high-voltage campaign as West Bengal heads into a crucial two-phase election
New Delhi, Apr 06 : The Bharatiya Janata Party has officially submitted its roster of star campaigners for the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections to the Election Commission of India, signaling the party’s intensified preparations for a fiercely contested battle.
The list was handed over to Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and includes several prominent national and regional figures expected to spearhead extensive campaigning across the state.
Key names featured in the line up include Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, BJP president JP Nadda, along with senior leaders such as Nitin Gadkari and Dharmendra Pradhan. The campaign will also see active participation from Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Addressing a rally in Cooch Behar, Prime Minister Modi strongly criticised the ruling Trinamool Congress, warning that those engaging in intimidation would be held accountable after the election results. He urged voters to remain confident in the rule of law and assured that governance would improve under a BJP administration.
Modi also drew attention to the Centre’s emphasis on enhancing women’s representation in politics. Referring to the long pending Women’s Reservation Act, he stated that the government is working toward implementing 33 percent reservation for women in legislatures, potentially beginning with the 2029 Lok Sabha elections.
The West Bengal Assembly elections are scheduled to take place in two phases on April 23 and April 29, while the counting of votes will be conducted on May 4, setting the stage for a decisive political contest in the state.
