A political debate on India Today examines the BJP’s consolidation of the tea garden vote in Assam and its implications for West Bengal elections. CSDS Co-Director Sanjay Kumar presents data showing the NDA won 26 out of 29 tea garden-dominated seats in Assam’s 2021 Assembly elections, polling 51 per cent votes. BJP spokesperson Rohan Gupta highlights the party’s delivery of land pattas to 3.5 lakh tea garden families through amendments to the Land Sealing Act in 2025, claiming this secured a traditionally Congress vote bank. Congress spokesperson Upen Rajnath counters that the BJP failed to fulfil promises of 350 rupees daily wages, state status for the tea community, and a deportation treaty with Bangladesh on illegal immigrants. TMC spokesperson Sourav Chandra outlines West Bengal’s welfare schemes including 95 crèches, health clinics, and a 250 rupees daily wage for tea garden workers. Kumar notes that whilst the BJP is strong in North Bengal, it needs to win all seats there to secure a majority in West Bengal.
