Narendra Modi's West Bengal campaign

The Prime Minister's rhetoric directly challenged Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's famous 'khela hobe' slogan, framing the upcoming polls as a battle for Bengal's identity.

Modi vowed to hold the TMC government accountable for alleged corruption and to bring development to the state's tribal communities.

Union Minister Amit Shah also joined the trail, urging voters to 'avenge' perceived insults to President Droupadi Murmu.

The campaign has been marked by high tension and mass transfers of police officials by the Election Commission to ensure a fair voting process.
