Modi’s ‘Ganga to Bengal’ Declaration: A War Cry for West Bengal

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has officially signaled the next phase of the BJP’s political expansion, targeting West Bengal after a decisive electoral triumph in Bihar. Modi’s statement, “The Ganga flows from Bihar to Bengal. This victory has paved our path to Bengal,” serves as a direct challenge to Mamata Banerjee’s government and a promise of intensified campaigning. The successful outcome in Bihar has emboldened the BJP, which now aims to replicate its strategy and political narrative in West Bengal. The declaration implies a strong intent to confront and dismantle the existing political establishment, with the Prime Minister vowing to “uproot jungle raj.” This strategic focus on West Bengal, following the Bihar results, highlights the state’s importance in the BJP’s broader electoral map. Political analysts anticipate a significant escalation of political activity as the BJP prepares to launch a full-fledged campaign, leveraging its recent successes and nationwide momentum.
