Two ongoing significant political events stand out.
The campaign of the West Bengal assembly election is raising political heat in Delhi. If the BJP manages to win West Bengal and even if the Mamata Bannerjee-led TMC fails to stop BJP getting an impressive political space in Bengal, the Modi model of politics is expected take a giant leap forward.
If pre-election campaign in West Bengal is any indicator, we are in for some very intense and aggressive polls coming up.
Both, the BJP and the TMC are playing with the baser instincts of the voters.
BJP has the funds, resources and determination to defeat Mamata Bannerjee. It seems set to decimate the Left block and Congress. Bengali voters are likely to be more polarised before the voting day.
