As Bengal elections continue to keep us on tenterhooks, NDTV has traversed the murky political landscape of the state for several months to get a sense of the ground. Is it a Modi wave, or does Mamata still hold strong?
Will the issue of infiltration lead to tectonic shifts, or will the Bohiragata vs Bengali narrative drown out other issues? Will the first phase, which covered North Bengal and is projected to be a saffron stronghold, propel the BJP to a historic victory, or will Mamata hold the bull by the horns by sweeping South Bengal, which goes to polls today?
The debates are never-ending, making it one of the most nail-biting elections of the season. NDTV’s power-packed team explored the politics of jhalmuri, fish, infiltration, and women’s security. From exclusive interviews with stakeholders and conversations with communities across the state’s diverse demography, we offer you the key takeaways from our reporters and seasoned editors to help you decode the nitty-gritty.
