Appointing in-charges for all 294 seats now shows they are serious. Nandigram will be the most watched seat again, no doubt. Hope this leads to a healthy democratic competition and better development for Bengal. 🤞

Good move. Bengal needs a change from the current regime. The violence and corruption during the last panchayat polls were shameful. A strong opposition is necessary for a functioning democracy.

As an observer, the committee seems quite diverse with economists, lawyers, and MLAs. Swapan Dasgupta and Ashok Lahiri bring intellectual heft. But ultimately, will the party's message resonate with the common Bengali voter beyond political hardliners?

All this planning is fine, but Didi has a very strong connect with the people, especially women. BJP will have to work much harder on local issues like price rise, employment, and not just rely on central leaders' visits. The 2021 results showed TMC's resilience.

Interesting to see the focus on organizational structure. The two-year runway suggests a long, strategic campaign. The visits from the top brass so close together signal that Bengal is a top priority for the national leadership.
