BJP unveils 5th Bengal list with 292 candidates
BJP releases its fifth West Bengal list, naming 292 candidates for 294 seats, as Modi readies to launch the campaign from Cooch Behar and the party sticks to a CM-face-free strategy.
The BJP has released its fifth candidate list for the West Bengal Assembly elections, naming 292 contenders for the state's 294 seats. The lineup includes a veteran candidate and the nephew of a former Union minister, and the party says 292 names have been announced so far for 294 seats.
Ahead of the vote, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to launch the BJP's campaign from Cooch Behar, signaling a robust push in the state as campaigns officially begin to take shape.
On leadership, the party's Bengal unit has reiterated it will not project a chief ministerial face, choosing to campaign on Modi's development vision and seeking votes in his name.
With this fifth list in hand, the BJP expands its slate as voters gear up for polling, and observers await any further candidate announcements as the campaign heats up.
