He referred to incidents in Mothabari, Dhulian, and Samserganj. He alleged attacks on Hindu homes and shops. Adhikari said such violence must stop to restore peace. He also compared the Murshidabad lynching of a father and son with a recent killing in Bangladesh. He claimed both incidents reflected rising insecurity among Hindus.

The BJP leader accused the state government of restricting religious celebrations. He named Ram Navami, Durga Puja, and Kali Puja. He said authorities delay or deny permissions. Adhikari promised that a future BJP government would provide 200 days of rural employment. He positioned this against Trinamool’s 100-day Karmashree Prakalpa scheme.

Adhikari said police denied permission for his rally. He added that he approached the Calcutta High Court 104 times for such approvals. State BJP president Samik Bhattacharya also attacked the Trinamool government. He alleged misuse of welfare funds. He defended the SIR process and accused the ruling party of blocking opposition activity.

The NDA’s convincing win in Bihar has energised the BJP ahead of the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, where 293 seats will be at stake. Key issues expected to dominate the Bengal campaign include women’s safety, law and order, alleged infiltration, and the politically sensitive Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls.
The BJP says the SIR is crucial to remove illegal voters, citing Bihar’s SIR 1.0 which removed around 65 lakh fake names, while the opposition claims the exercise is politically motivated.

Following PM Modi’s comments, Bengal BJP leaders quickly amplified the message.
Suvendu Adhikari posted, “Bihar was just the trailer, Bengal is next.” BJP’s Amit Malviya added that Bengal would follow the “political flow” from Bihar.

The Trinamool Congress responded sharply, dismissing BJP’s claims. Its official handle posted, “Dream on,” while another message said, “Bring it on.” TMC leaders insisted that Mamata Banerjee would return to power with a comfortable majority in 2026.
Party spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said PM Modi misunderstood Bengal’s political realities and argued that voters repeatedly reject “divisive politics”.

Meanwhile, PM Modi attacked the Congress, calling it a “parasite party” that weakens its allies. He warned regional parties against trusting the Congress, claiming internal turmoil could soon cause another split.

With the NDA’s record tally in Bihar — where the BJP emerged as the single-largest party — the political spotlight has now shifted firmly to the Bengal battleground.
