Congress MP Shashi Tharoor acknowledged the BJP's significant electoral victories in West Bengal and Assam, attributing their success to a 'strong organisational strength' and effective campaigning led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Tharoor noted three critical factors for the BJP's success: a professional approach, a robust organizational network, and extensive resource deployment. He stated that rival parties could learn valuable lessons from the BJP’s meticulous planning and management. The BJP's win in West Bengal, securing 206 seats, marked a significant shift in the state's political dynamics, challenging the long-standing dominance of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), which won only 80 seats. In Assam, the BJP won 82 seats, while Congress managed just 19 seats. Tharoor also called for introspection within the Congress party, emphasizing the need to replicate successful strategies from Kerala, where the Congress emerged as the largest party with 63 seats in the recent assembly elections.
