KOLKATA: With the West Bengal Assembly elections due next year, the state unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has begun focusing on constituencies where its candidates suffered narrow defeats in the last two electoral contests.
The party has set a benchmark to identify those constituencies where the defeat margins of their candidates were less than 10, 000 votes, both in the 2021 West Bengal Assembly polls and Assembly-wise results of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
“Although in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, our number of winning seats was less than what it was in 2019, in terms of assembly-wise results, our performance had been better than what it was in the 2021 Assembly polls. After detailed analysis of the results of each of the 294 assembly constituencies both in 2021 and 2024, we have identified such constituencies with thinner defeat margins on which special focus is being laid, ” a BJP state committee member said.
