With the second phase of the West Bengal Assembly elections set for April 29, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is altering its campaign strategy in Kolkata, traditionally a stronghold of the Trinamool Congress (TMC). The BJP is now emphasizing urban infrastructure issues, highlighting the deteriorating state of public transport and road conditions. A recent post from the BJP criticized Kolkata's public transport system, stating that it needs modernization to meet 21st-century standards. The party's campaign has labeled Kolkata as the 'most congested city in India,' citing average traffic speeds of 17.4 km/h. In contrast, TMC spokesperson Arup Chakraborty dismissed these claims, accusing the BJP of changing its narrative to distract from its failures at the national level. Recent polling data indicates that the BJP may be making inroads in urban areas, having led in several Assembly segments in Nadia and North 24 Parganas districts. Key contests in the upcoming elections include the Kolkata Port seat, where BJP candidate Rakesh Singh is challenging TMC's Firhad Hakim, and the Kashipur-Belgachhia seat, where Ritesh Tiwari is criticizing TMC's record on urban development. The BJP aims to leverage local dissatisfaction to gain a foothold in Kolkata, a region where it has historically struggled to win seats.
