On Sunday, November 22, National General Secretary of BJP, Kailash Vijayvargiya, said that a representative of the election commission has promised that central forces will be deployed for the Bengal election 2021.

Highlighting the issue of intolerance, and the law and order condition in Bengal, Kailash Vijayvargiya stated that deployment of central forces in Bengal would allow the conduct of the election next year without any fear. In his statement about the deployment of central forces, Vijayvargiya underscored that Bengal is a challenge. He also added that the police in the state is known to be meddling in politics and needs to be kept aside. He also asserted confidently that BJP would emerge victor in the state polls with a two-thirds majority.

BJP would be entering into a direct head-on battle with TMC in Bengal polls next year over the control of the 294 seats state assembly in Kolkata. CAA and NRC would be among the main issues to be used by BJP to drive ahead its agenda in the polls. Matua Mahasangha community can be a central group that will push the agenda for CAA in Bengal. The Covid19 management, especially the alleged aspects of data fudging would also likely be used by BJP.

Recently, Union Home minister had paid a visit to the Jangalmahal region in an attempt to reach out to the tribal population. The saffron party has also placed a new IT co-incharge, Amit Malviya, especially for Bengal polls to reach out to places where it has no physical presence in the form of offices.

BJP is gradually arranging 23 booth-level organizational activities over the next two months, as per instructions given by BJP General Secretary (Organisation), BL Santosh to party workers. Many of these initiatives are aimed at wooing women voters, considered as a crucial vote base for CM Banerjee.

According to various reports, the party’s mahila morcha (women’s wing) will organize padyatras at every booth and mandal, and youth morcha workers will organize cycle rallies and prabhat pheri (morning rallies).
