Political leaders across India are actively campaigning ahead of upcoming elections. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address election meetings in Uttar Pradesh and Delhi, while Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP chief J.P. Nadda will campaign in West Bengal. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will participate in rallies in Haryana and Panchkula, and Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge will address a rally in Yamunanagar district.

Former Bengal Minister and current Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari has repeatedly praised the Mamata Banerjee government’s Lakshmir Bhandar scheme, despite his opposition to most of her policies. He has promised to increase the scheme’s payout three times to Rs 3,000 per beneficiary if elected. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has also pledged to increase the benefit by Rs 100. The scheme, which provides a monthly cash incentive to women below 60, has over 2.11 crore beneficiaries and is considered a game-changer for the Trinamool Congress. The BJP’s focus on Lakshmir Bhandar is seen as an attempt to win over women voters, who constitute nearly 50% of the electorate in Bengal.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has expressed concerns that the Supreme Court’s interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in an excise policy case may be perceived as special treatment. Shah stated that the judgment was not a routine judicial order and that many believe Kejriwal received preferential treatment. The minister also criticized Kejriwal’s comments in an election rally, which Shah interpreted as contempt of the Supreme Court. Shah further dismissed claims by AAP leaders that the central government had monitored Kejriwal in jail, emphasizing that the Tihar jail is under the jurisdiction of the Delhi government. Regarding the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, Shah asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will remain the BJP’s leader until 2029 and beyond.

The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) alliance with the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) in the Mumbai Lok Sabha polls is a calculated gamble, with potential implications for the party’s fortunes in the city. While the MNS led by Raj Thackeray brings a Marathi votebank, its past anti-north Indian stance creates apprehension among BJP cadres and voters. Political analysts point out the MNS’s inconsistent political allegiances, questioning the durability of its support for the BJP. The BJP’s strategy hinges on the belief that Thackeray’s oratorical skills and appeal to Marathi-speaking voters can counter the Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP’s campaigns. However, the MNS’s lack of a strong organizational base and its perceived shift away from its nativist roots could limit its impact, particularly in light of the polarizing rhetoric employed by the BJP leadership.
