West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026: BJP and TMC Spokespersons Clash Over 'Saffron Tsunami' and Anti-Incumbency

On this Special Report, a panel of political spokespersons and analysts discusses the heated battle for the West Bengal Assembly Elections. An unidentified BJP Spokesperson asserts that the 'reverse countdown' for the state government has begun, citing rising crime and the recent killing of migrant worker Jewel Rana in Odisha. Countering this, a TMC representative dismisses the BJP’s confidence as a recurring 'tsunami' that fails to materialize, labelling the opposition as 'migratory birds'. The discussion also covers the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, the impact of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), and the challenges of anti-incumbency facing the ruling party. The programme explores whether the contest remains bipolar or if other parties can regain ground.
