With the Assembly elections in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu approaching, the political atmosphere has become increasingly charged. Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a rally in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, where he accused the Congress party and its ally, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), of derailing the Women's Reservation Bill in Parliament due to their 'hatred and petty politics.' He claimed that the ruling DMK has failed to protect women in the state, contributing to violence against them and not supporting critical legislation. Tamil Nadu will conduct its elections in a single phase on April 23, while West Bengal will vote in two phases on April 23 and April 29. The counting of votes across all states is set for May 4, 2026. As the campaigns ramp up, Amit Shah is scheduled to hold a roadshow in Erode, aiming to galvanize support ahead of the elections.
