The electoral battle in Bengal is reaching its peak as neither side is willing to cede an inch of ground. In a significant move, TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee is holding a massive public rally at the Irrigation Colony ground in Suri, Birbhum—the very same venue where Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a gathering just four days ago.

During his visit, PM Modi had scathingly attacked the ruling party, alleging that the region had become a “cottage industry for bombs.” Today, all eyes are on Mamata Banerjee as she takes the same stage to deliver a stinging rebuttal. Supporting local candidate Ujjwal Chatterjee, the Chief Minister is expected to set the tone for the upcoming polls in this volatile district.

The entire area has been placed under a heavy security blanket since morning. As thousands of supporters gather, political analysts are keenly watching to see what strategic message the TMC leader delivers to counter the BJP’s offensive in Birbhum.
