BJP wins West Bengal: Why this matters | BBC News India

Описание: For years, India’s eastern state of West Bengal stood apart from Narendra Modi’s broader political expansion.

It was one of the few large states where the Bharatiya Janata Party had not formed a government, even as it grew across much of the country. With strong support in northern and western India, the BJP had viewed West Bengal as a key gap in its national presence.

The result ends more than a decade of rule by the Trinamool Congress, led by Mamata Banerjee, one of the prominent regional leaders who had challenged the BJP’s rise.

The BBC’s Ishadrita Lahiri speaks to supporters of both parties in Kolkata to understand what the result means for them.

Presented by: Ishadrita Lahiri
