While the TMC has continued to dominate politics in West Bengal in the past decade, and the Left Front has declined in importance, another party which has become electorally important in the state is the Bharatiya Janata Party.
The BJP, which is now touted as the top opposition party to the TMC for the upcoming Assembly Elections, has never been in power in the state. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, it won 18 out of the 42 seats in the state, and its vote share increased by almost 30% when compared to the assembly elections of 2016. Senior leaders of the BJP have already been partaking in roadshows across the state. Several TMC senior leaders, including Suvendu Adhikari and Mukul Roy, have also left the party to join hands with the BJP.
Although West Bengal will witness a three-way contest in the Assembly elections between the TMC, BJP and the Left Front (in alliance with the Congress), all eyes will definitely be on the fight between the BJP and TMC.
