JP Nadda’s visit to West Bengal sparks BJP’s strategic rethinking. Emphasis on grassroots efforts, alternative narrative against TMC, and unity. Challenges and goals outlined for upcoming polls in the state.

During his recent visit to West Bengal, BJP national president JP Nadda emphasized the need for a revamped approach by the state’s party leaders to challenge the Trinamool Congress (TMC) government led by Mamata Banerjee.

Focus on Ground-Level Work and Alternative Narrative

Nadda’s visit included discussions with the party’s core committee, where he expressed his dissatisfaction with the state unit’s performance. He directed leaders to work extensively at the grassroots level and develop a strategy that offers an alternative perspective to the TMC’s narrative. Highlighting shortcomings and confrontation alone won’t suffice.

Morchas’ Role and Central Schemes

To realize this vision, different party wings or “morchas” are expected to take an active role across the state. The Mahila Morcha will connect with self-help groups, the Yuva Morcha will engage with clubs and welfare organizations, and the Kisan Morcha will expand its reach in farmer markets. Nadda stressed the importance of promoting central government schemes as well.

Praising Past Efforts and Encouraging Determination

Nadda commended BJP workers for their spirited fight in recent panchayat polls against TMC’s challenges. He acknowledged the likelihood of TMC’s violent tactics but urged the party to steadfastly stand against such suppression.

Lok Sabha Poll Strategy and Future Goals

After meetings chaired by Nadda, discussions revolved around the party’s strategy for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. The target of securing 35 out of 42 seats in West Bengal was reiterated. Despite recent challenges and alliances in the political landscape, BJP aims to maintain its presence and influence.

Challenges and Resilience

While BJP secured substantial victories in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and made progress in West Bengal’s political landscape, subsequent events tested its unity. Internal divisions, electoral setbacks, and shifting alliances prompted the need for a renewed approach.

Nadda’s Statements

Nadda addressed the issue of violence in the recent panchayat elections, likening it to struggles during India’s fight for independence. He criticized TMC’s approach and referred to the erosion of democratic values in the state. Nadda also criticized Banerjee for dynastic politics and questioned her claims of being a democratic champion.

Response and Conclusion

TMC’s Kunal Ghosh dismissed Nadda’s visit, stating that it wouldn’t significantly impact West Bengal’s politics. Despite challenges, BJP remains resolute in pursuing change in the state, guided by Nadda’s call for a more strategic and comprehensive approach.
