Assembly Elections Heat Up: Rallies, Campaign Clashes, and Big Political Claims

Assembly election activities across multiple states have intensified with major political developments and campaign actions. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) released its fifth candidate list for West Bengal, announcing five names and changing candidates on three seats. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to hold his first rally in Cooch Behar, a BJP stronghold in North Bengal. Union Home Minister Amit Shah will visit Kerala, holding roadshows and public meetings in Kozhikode. BJP chief J. P. Nadda and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi are campaigning in Assam, addressing multiple rallies. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma made bold claims of winning 90–100 seats. Meanwhile, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury faced clashes during campaigning in Berhampore. Tensions also rose with allegations of violence during nominations, as BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari accused the Trinamool Congress (TMC) of misconduct.
