Good performance of BJP in Shubhendu’s stronghold

This time the BJP has performed well in Shubhendu Adhikari’s bastion of Nandigram and East Midnapore as compared to other places. In Nandigram, more gram panchayats have come under the control of BJP than TMC. However, there was a disappointing performance in North Bengal, considered a stronghold of the BJP. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP had won all the eight seats in North Bengal. While in the 2021 assembly elections also, the BJP got great success in North Bengal. However, compared to the 2018 Bengal Panchayat elections, BJP has performed well this time.
