BJP Prepares for West Bengal Elections
The BJP is getting ready for the big elections in West Bengal.
They want to win more votes than the Trinamool Congress (TMC), which is currently in power.
The BJP is trying to get at least 60-65% of the Hindu votes.
They are also working on making sure everyone in their party works together.
The BJP is splitting West Bengal into six zones and sending special teams to each zone to help them win.
The TMC, however, is not happy with how the election rules are being made and is meeting with the Election Commission to talk about it.
The elections will be a big test for both parties to see who can win the most votes.
BJP aims to win West Bengal elections against TMC, targeting 60-65% of the Hindu vote.
Internal unity is crucial, with Amit Shah's visit to foster cohesion and address factionalism.
Demographic strategy focuses on engaging groups like Matuas and Rajbongshis, prioritizing CAA implementation.
BJP is deploying a 'Crack Team' to challenge TMC's district-level dominance, splitting Bengal into six zones.
TMC alleges irregularities in the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and will meet the Election Commission on February 2.
