The streets of Kolkata pulsed with BJP fervor as national president JP Nadda led a massive roadshow, boldly proclaiming the end of Mamata Banerjee’s reign. Addressing the media amid cheering crowds on Sunday, Nadda captured the mood: ‘Look at this enthusiasm—I’ve seen it everywhere. Bengal’s people have decided: it’s time to school Mamata Banerjee.’
He laid bare the grievances fueling the change—tolabaji (extortion), katmani (cut money), syndicates, TMC thugs, mafia control over sand and coal, and assaults on women. ‘Voters are set to reject this chaos and install a BJP government, packing off Mamata Didi to her residence,’ Nadda declared.
Election updates from Nadda were upbeat. ‘First phase is ours solidly. Second phase voters are undaunted.’ His call? ‘Vote fearlessly.’
State BJP chief Suvendu Adhikari painted a grim picture of TMC continuity: ‘Everything crumbles if they win again—but they won’t. Mamata knows she’s out; her party vanishes with the government. Last chance for them.’
Ravi Kishan, BJP MP, foresaw a landslide: ‘Everywhere, talks of 180-200 seats. April 29’s 92% polling will make history.’ He linked a TMC attack on him to their panic: ‘They stormed my rally, assaulted me—sign of defeat. Goons are activated.’
Jagaddal BJP hopeful Rajesh Kumar shrugged off a police summon. ‘I told goons to reform or surrender, or face charges. TMC doctored the clip to stir unrest. My reply stands firm.’
Nadda’s rally signals BJP’s momentum in Bengal’s high-voltage battle. As phases unfold, the anti-incumbency wave could redefine the state’s politics, with BJP eyeing a clean sweep.
