The Bharatiya Janata Party has thrown its full weight into campaigning for assembly elections across five states — West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam, and the Union Territory of Puducherry. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will today address three public rallies in Assam at Barpeta, Hojai, and Dibrugarh. BJP President JP Nadda will also be in Assam today, holding rallies in Tinsukia and Lakhimpur.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah will address party workers in Thiruvananthapuram on the occasion of BJP’s Foundation Day and will then travel to Puducherry for a road show. Political activity across all five states is at fever pitch as the party’s top leadership fans out across the campaign trail.
As per the election schedule, West Bengal will vote across two phases on April 23 and April 29 for its 294 seats. Tamil Nadu’s 234 seats will go to polls in a single phase on April 23. Kerala’s 140 seats, Assam’s 126 seats, and Puducherry’s 30 seats will all vote on April 9.
Results for all five states will be declared on May 4. These elections will not only determine the political direction of each state but will also serve as an important indicator of the national political mood ahead of the 2029 general elections.
