Bengal BJP views the BJP-led alliance’s strong performance in Bihar as a sign that popular support is building and will reach West Bengal next.
Leaders say the Bihar result validates their focus on voter outreach and welfare measures, which they plan to replicate in Bengal.
The party is using the Bihar momentum to energise its organisation in Bengal ahead of upcoming state-level contests.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in West Bengal described the strong showing by its national alliance in the recent Bihar assembly elections as a precursor for similar momentum in the state. Party leaders believe that the “wave of people’s support” seen in Bihar will next sweep across Bengal.
According to Bengal BJP officials, the results in Bihar validate their strategy of grassroots outreach and welfare-based campaigning—efforts which they say will now be intensified in Bengal. The party expects that the boost in morale and organisational energy from Bihar will carry forward into upcoming state polls.
The Bengal BJP is gearing up for an aggressive campaign, claiming that the success in Bihar reflects wider public sentiment favouring their organisation and message. They intend to use the Bihar outcome as a reference point to motivate cadres and energise voters in the region.
The Election Commission begun declaring winners, with most seats in NDA's favour so far. In the days leading up to the counting day, the political fervour surged. Bihar had a historic voter turnout of 67.13 per cent in the assembly in two phases.
A total of 7.45 crore voters were eligible to decide the electoral fate of 2,616 candidates. In a high-stakes contest against the BJP-led NDA alliance, the INDIA bloc and Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Party, among others, all sides have made ambitious promises — from welfare schemes for women to caste-based upliftment and tackling unemployment — while keeping the Jungle Raj narrative alive.
