From West Bengal to Tamil Nadu, political competition is heating up. But no gain for voters

From Tamil Nadu to West Bengal to Assam, political competition is heating up as parties do their electoral math. While in Tamil Nadu, it’s the BJP-AIADMK coalition that will take on the Congress-DMK combine, West Bengal is witnessing a triangular contest between the TMC, the BJP and the Congress-Left Front-Indian Secular Front. Assam, too, is likely to see a three-cornered fight between the BJP-led front that has the support of the AGP, the Congress-led Grand Alliance that includes the Left front, the AIUDF and AGM, and a bunch of regional players. But will this hyper political competition benefit the voters when governments are formed in these states?
