The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are making every effort to guarantee that the party wins a sizable portion of the 57 seats where elections are scheduled for June 1 in the last round of the current Lok Sabha polls.

Three rallies in Odisha and one in West Bengal will host speeches by Prime Minister Modi on Wednesday.

The party has been putting a lot of effort into growing its presence and solidifying its control over the political system in both states.

West Bengal saw the BJP win 18 seats in 2019, which was seen as a significant victory for the party that had little local support.

The BJP subsequently started waging a fierce campaign in the state to position itself as an alternative to the ruling TMC.

The party did well in the state’s 2021 assembly votes and went on to win 77 seats thanks to the intense campaign that started in 2019.

The BJP’s Suvendhu Adhikari, a former adviser to chief minister Mamata Banerjee, defeating her in her home borough of Nandigram, was the election’s high point.

Adhikari, who was regarded as Banerjee’s trustee lieutenant, is credited for having contributed to the BJP’s rise in support in the state, which was thought to have nothing in common with the party’s philosophy because it was a communist stronghold.

Now that the BJP is the main opposition in the state, its goal is to increase its number of Lok Sabha seats, which will prepare the way for the assembly elections in 2026.

The BJP hopes to win eight of the 21 Lok Sabha seats in 2019, more than tripling its current total. It also wants to prove that it is qualified to lead the state government.

Similar to West Bengal, where the Congress and Left parties are no longer seen as strong rivals, the BJP has established itself as the Biju Janata Dal (BJD)’s rival in Odisha.

Having won five consecutive terms in assembly elections, the BJD is sure to make a comeback.
