PM Modi Targets Bengal Post-Bihar Win: ‘Ganga’s Path to Kolkata’

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has declared West Bengal as the next major political battleground following the BJP’s decisive victory in Bihar. Addressing supporters, Modi drew a parallel, stating, “The Ganga flows from Bihar to Bengal. This victory has paved our path to Bengal,” indicating a strategic focus on wresting control of the eastern state. This bold pronouncement from Delhi is a clear signal to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee that the BJP is intensifying its efforts to dislodge her government. The recent electoral success in Bihar provides a significant morale boost and strategic advantage for the BJP’s Bengal campaign. The party leadership is expected to leverage the “Bihar momentum” to challenge the Trinamool Congress, with specific attention on “uprooting jungle raj.” The political landscape in West Bengal is anticipated to become more dynamic as the BJP gears up for a more aggressive outreach, building on the narrative established in Bihar.
