As Bengal votes today, the battleground region of Birbhum personifies the stakes

In Birbhum, West Bengal, there is a sense of calm ahead of the upcoming panchayat elections, despite the district's history of political violence. The absence of TMC heavyweight Anubrata Mondal, who is currently in jail on cattle smuggling charges, has created a sense of unpredictability. Birbhum is seen as a battleground district in the state, with a mixed population and a history of political clashes. The TMC has won most seats uncontested in the past, but the BJP is now making inroads, capitalizing on dissatisfaction with the ruling party. | Latest News India
