The 2026 Assembly elections are gaining momentum, particularly in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu. In West Bengal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted increasing public support for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) based on feedback from grassroots workers in Siliguri, indicating dissatisfaction with the ruling All India Trinamool Congress (TMC). To strengthen their campaign, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari is set to lead a series of roadshows and rallies before the upcoming voting phases on April 23 and April 29. In Tamil Nadu, the political rivalry is heating up, with Raja Anbazhagan of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) expressing confidence in his candidacy while questioning the credibility of his opponent, B. Sathyanarayanan. Tamilisai Soundararajan has countered these claims by alleging corruption under the DMK and urging support for the National Democratic Alliance. Additionally, in Kerala, the Leader of the Opposition, V D Satheesan, has urged the Election Commission of India to promptly release constituency-wise polling data from the April 9 vote to ensure transparency.
