Scenario Of Political Competition
A high end drama is going on during this political festival. Two major parties, which are serious threat to each other are standing face to face. Since Mamta Banarje (TMC head) has already been holding the post of CM for the two consecutive elections and she is all set for her victory for the third time. But the victory is simply a chance factor this time, since BJP performed really very well in the last election which actually shook the grounds of TMC, nothing can be claimed as of now.
TMC and CPI (Communist Party Of India) are the two most popular parties in West Bengal. But the elections that took place in 2019 changed the picture, BJP became the preferred choice of masses.
