The Election Commission’s schedule for assembly polls across four states and a union territory has ignited fervor in West Bengal, where TMC’s Kunal Ghosh foresees a landslide victory. With voting on April 23 and 29 for 294 seats and counting on May 4, Ghosh boldly stated that Trinamool will clinch over 250 seats, propelling Mamata Banerjee back to the chief minister’s chair with a massive majority.
In a media interaction, the outspoken leader highlighted the surge in support since the 2021 elections. He framed the contest as a referendum on BJP’s alleged mistreatment of Bengal – from fund deprivation to cultural insults. ‘People will vote against this revenge politics,’ Ghosh asserted.
Targeting the BJP’s tactics, he claimed harassment via the model code, vowing Bengal’s electorate will deliver a crushing blow. ‘They lost before, but this time it’ll be humiliating,’ he said, confident in TMC’s dominance.
Congress echoed calls for seamless polling, noting Bengal’s two-phase format ensures fairness despite demands for a single phase. As parties mobilize, Ghosh’s projection underscores TMC’s aggressive campaign strategy, betting on regional pride and anti-central sentiment to overwhelm opponents.
