In the upcoming West Bengal by‑polls, the Nandigram and Rajnagar seats have become focal points as the Bharatiya Janata Party intensifies its campaign against the ruling Left Front and the Trinamool Congress.
The West Bengal by‑polls slated for May 2024 have turned the Nandigram and Rajnagar constituencies into battlegrounds for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
BJP has fielded a high‑profile candidate in each seat and is targeting the traditional left strongholds with promises of development and governance reforms.
The ruling Trinamool Congress and the Left Front have responded by consolidating their voter base, emphasizing their record on welfare schemes and local governance.
Campaign rallies across the two districts have seen large crowds, with party leaders urging voters to break the long‑standing dominance of the left in West Bengal.
