"Amit Shah, campaigning for Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party, accused West Bengal's current chief minister, Mamata Banerjee, of building a Babri mosque in West Bengal. He vowed that the BJP would never let a Babri mosque be constructed in India."
"Banerjee called Shah a 'goon' and stated that no one wanted the BJP to come to power in the state, highlighting the contentious political atmosphere in West Bengal."
"In Tamil Nadu, ruling party leaders and their allies invoked Dravidian roots to garner votes and keep the BJP out, emphasizing the cultural unity among south Indian states."
West Bengal and Tamil Nadu are set to vote, with West Bengal voting in two phases on April 23 and 29, and Tamil Nadu voting on April 23. Political campaigning has been marked by divisive rhetoric, particularly in West Bengal, where Amit Shah accused Mamata Banerjee of supporting the construction of a Babri mosque. Banerjee countered by labeling Shah a 'goon' and asserting that the BJP is unwelcome in the state. In Tamil Nadu, leaders are emphasizing Dravidian identity to mobilize support against the BJP.
