Journalist Rajdeep Sardesai analyzes the Election Commission’s announcement of a two-phase election in West Bengal on April 9 and April 23, 2026. He states that having a two-phase election ‘is a good sign in terms of law and order’ and ‘suggests that the election commission is confident that there will be no law and order issues’. Sardesai contrasts this with the 2021 elections, which had eight phases and coincided with the deadly COVID Delta wave. He discusses the pending adjudication of electoral rolls, noting that the 60 lakh pending names have been reduced to 45 lakhs. Sardesai also analyzes key factors in other state elections, including the Vijay factor in Tamil Nadu, BJP consolidation in Assam, and Mamata Banerjee’s reliance on Muslim and women voters in West Bengal.
