Political tensions have escalated ahead of the India — West Bengal Assembly elections as India — Trinamool Congress General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee criticized the India — Bharatiya Janata Party's 'Double Engine' narrative. Banerjee accused the India — Bharatiya Janata Party of misusing democratic institutions, including the India — Election Commission of India, to delete genuine voters and destabilize state machinery. He also alleged that the India — Bharatiya Janata Party recruited local agents like India — All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen and India — All India Secular Front to stoke communal discord and split votes. The India — Trinamool Congress expressed confidence in an electoral victory, citing strong public response in various regions of India — West Bengal. The elections are scheduled for April 23 and April 29, with results on May 4. A key issue is the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, which led to the deletion of over 60 lakh names, sparking protests and legal battles.
