West Bengal Assembly Elections: The second phase of voting for the assembly elections in West Bengal is to be held on Wednesday (April 29, 2026). According to the rules, two days before the voting, speeches, public meetings, rallies and road shows given by political parties in the state have been stopped. While the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) in Bengal is targeting PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah along with the BJP government at the Centre, all the big leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have carried out a vigorous campaign in West Bengal.
BJP has put in all its strength to ensure its victory in this election. Different colors were seen in the campaign by the party leaders, sometimes they campaigned by eating Jhalmudi, and sometimes they campaigned by boat. A huge effort was made to convey the message to Hindu voters through darshan in temples. In such a situation, how successful this hard work and efforts of BJP is in Bengal will be known only after the election results are revealed on May 4, 2026.
PM Modi held 21 rallies and three road shows to woo Bengal.
The Election Commission sounded the election bugle in the state on March 15, 2026 and Bengal turned into a political arena. During this period, Prime Minister Narendra Modi held 21 rallies and three road shows to woo the people of Bengal. Apart from this, by boating in the Hooghly river, he showed that the path to power is now being sought not only through road but also through the river.
With the intention of bringing BJP to power in Bengal, Union Home Minister Amit Shah also kept the election engine on full speed with 20 public meetings, 11 road shows and organizational meetings. At the same time, BJP National President Nitin Naveen also took the lead in Bengal through three meetings and 12 road shows. BJP also adopted faith in this election with full political conviction.

Overall, local BJP leaders did more than 500 small and big programs and did complete gardening to make the lotus bloom in the state.
Winds of faith blowing amidst politics in the election field
Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid obeisance at Thanthania Kalibari, Matua Thakurbari, Dakshineswar Kali Temple and Belur Math. At the same time, Home Minister Amit Shah visited ISKCON temple, Ramakrishna Mission centers and took a bath in Gangasagar to give a spiritual message and also raised the political temperature. While Nitin Naveen worshiped in the court of Badi Maa Kali of Naihati and paid homage at the residence of Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay.
PM Modi’s campaign in Bengal ranges from speech to taste
This time the Bengal elections were not just about speeches but also about taste. In Jhargram, Prime Minister Modi suddenly stopped at a shop, ate Jhalmuri and also paid the money himself. The message was clear that in politics masala is necessary and sometimes puffed rice too. He said that the taste of Jhalmuri of Bengal is as unique as the soil of Bengal. There was development in Modi’s speeches and also strong criticism on the opposition.
The Prime Minister’s aggressive campaigning in West Bengal and Home Minister Amit Shah’s strategy filled the minds of BJP workers with enthusiasm. The strategy of all-out attack by the BJP top leadership has made the West Bengal elections interesting. In such a situation, now we will have to wait for the second phase of elections to be held on April 29, 2026 and the results to be released on May 4.
