The Bharatiya Janata Party has started projecting fish in its West Bengal election campaigns to appeal to Bengali voters, countering Trinamool Congress chairperson Mamata Banerjee's claims that the BJP opposes Bengal's culture. Banerjee has accused the party of planning to ban fish and meat sales.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has fielded retired IPS officer Dr Rajesh Kumar, former DGP, for the Jagatdal constituency in the West Bengal Assembly elections 2026. The seat is held by TMC MLA Somenath Shyam. By nominating Dr Kumar, the BJP is emphasizing governance credentials and administrative expertise.
