The campaigning season in both West Bengal and Tamil Nadu has entered a vigorous phase ahead of the upcoming state assembly polls. Major parties are organising large public meetings, deploying senior leaders to key constituencies and intensifying door‑to‑door outreach to mobilise voters.
Party workers report an increase in the number of rallies and cultural programmes, with state capitals Kolkata and Chennai witnessing crowded venues and extensive media coverage. The use of social media, televised debates and localized slogans is being amplified to appeal to regional sensibilities.
