West Bengal is witnessing a high-stakes political battle as Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee prepares to face BJP strongman Suvendu Adhikari in Bhabanipur, her fortress seat. This follows Adhikari’s stunning 2021 victory in Nandigram, where he defeated his former mentor by just 1,900 votes. In a strategic counter-move, the TMC has fielded Pavitra Akar, Adhikari’s right-hand man in Nandigram, forcing the BJP leader to split his campaign between two constituencies. Analysts compare this to the Congress’s 2024 strategy when KL Sharma defeated Smriti Irani in Amethi. Mamata Banerjee has won Bhabanipur three times previously, including a 53,000-vote margin victory against Priyanka Tibrewal. If Adhikari defeats Banerjee in Bhavanipur, it would represent a tectonic shift in West Bengal politics. Meanwhile, the programme also covered the ongoing Middle East crisis, with Indian LPG tankers navigating the Strait of Hormuz, and rising pollution concerns across Indian cities as vendors switch to wood and coal amid LPG shortages.
