Arvind Kejriwal (national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party) criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi on social media, questioning what would happen if Modi loses the West Bengal Assembly elections despite allegedly taking control of institutions and manipulating voter counts. The elections, set for April 23 and April 29, will see 294 seats contested, with results announced on May 4. The political climate is charged, with the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) accusing the BJP and the Election Commission of deleting voter names from the rolls. TMC's Abhishek Banerjee vowed to reverse these deletions if his party wins. Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has been actively campaigning, promising to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) within six months if the BJP secures power. He also pledged to address issues like infiltration and cattle smuggling and proposed forming a commission to investigate political violence in the state. As the election approaches, sharp political exchanges are expected to escalate.
