Key Battleground States
Three states play a crucial role in determining the election outcome:
- West Bengal: A fierce battle between the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the BJP. The BJP made significant inroads in 2019, but the state remains unpredictable. Factors include the Modi factor, citizenship issues, and local dynamics. Every seat matters here.
- Bihar: A state with political realignments. Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United) rejoined the NDA. Bihar’s pre-poll flux adds to the uncertainty, making it a challenging state to predict.
- Maharashtra: Split between state-based parties within both the NDA and the INDIA bloc. The 2019 polls saw significant shifts, and pollsters find it challenging to predict outcomes here.
