West Bengal power struggle: PM Modi’s conch sound from Cooch Behar, Congress played the bet of ‘Ekla Chalo’ with 284 warriors.
Kolkata/Cooch Behar. The political temperature has reached its peak for the West Bengal Assembly elections 2026. With the start of the nomination process for the first phase from March 30, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress have intensified their siege of the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC). Prime Minister Narendra Modi is reaching Cooch Behar today, where he will address a huge public meeting. We will also give a formal warning about BJP’s election campaign because North Bengal has been a strong bastion of BJP. That is why PM Modi will try to strengthen his hold in this area through this rally. The Prime Minister will hold a total of 12 major rallies across the state, including major centers like Siliguri, Kharagpur and Howrah.
