As part of its election strategy, the BJP has deployed around 50 leaders from Assam to campaign across various constituencies in West Bengal. The move is aimed at strengthening grassroots outreach and boosting the party’s presence during the crucial election period.
Among the prominent leaders from Assam involved in the campaign are Pijush Hazarika, Jayanta Malla Baruah, Ashok Singhal, Bimal Borah, Parimal Suklabaidya, and Kripanath Mallah, who are actively participating in rallies and organisational activities.
These leaders are expected to assist local party units, engage with voters, and contribute to campaign mobilisation across key constituencies.
The West Bengal Assembly elections have drawn participation from leaders across states, reflecting the high political stakes. With intensified campaigning, the BJP continues to focus on coordinated efforts and expanded outreach to consolidate voter support.
