Mamata Banerjee holds padayatra in Kolkata on last day of campaigning
The phase two election campaigning in Bengal concludes with a massive fourteen-kilometer march led by the state Chief Minister. The roadshow covers four key constituencies in South Kolkata, including a highly contested seat where the Chief Minister is seeking a crucial victory. This election is described as a significant survival battle for the ruling party, facing tough competition from the primary opposition following recent controversies. The ruling party relies heavily on welfare schemes targeting women and youth to secure votes in diverse constituencies with mixed demographics. Meanwhile, the opposition claims they will secure a majority, making this one of the most fiercely contested elections in the state. The final results, which will determine if the current leadership secures a fourth term, are scheduled to be announced early next month. The intense campaigning highlights the critical importance of the upcoming polling phase for the political future of the state.
