Dilip Ghosh, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from Kharagpur Sadar Assembly constituency in West Bengal, expressed confidence that the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) will face a significant defeat in the upcoming Assembly elections. He accused the TMC of winning elections through intimidation and obstructing opposition activities, predicting that the party's influence will wane as polling dates approach. Ghosh stated that the TMC will 'slowly disappear from the market' and that its leaders will retreat to their homes as the elections draw near. He also criticized the TMC for focusing on irrelevant issues, particularly concerning Pakistan, while asserting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has diminished its standing. Ghosh questioned the electoral performance of the Congress party under Rahul Gandhi, highlighting internal conflicts as a sign of their decline. He defended the integrity of electronic voting machines, emphasizing that inspections are regularly conducted to ensure their credibility. The West Bengal Assembly elections will take place in two phases on April 23 and April 29, with counting set for May 4.
