KOLKATA: Just like the Hindi-speaking belt in the suburbs played a crucial role in Trinamool’s landslide victory in south Bengal, the Hindi-speaking population in central Kolkata played a deciding role in at least two Kolkata constituencies Jorasanko and Shyampukur.
Hindi-speaking voters, who had ensured leads for the BJP at both the assembly constituencies in 2019, seem to have turned away from the party. Vivek Gupta of TMC doubled the party’s lead from Jorasanko (which Trinamool’s Smita Bakshi had won five years ago).
