Bengal Elections | What Author Jashodhara Chakraborti Told NDTV On Anti-Incumbency Factor In West Bengal
Author Jashodhara Chakraborti told NDTV that while anti-incumbency exists in West Bengal, the BJP may have missed an opportunity by not turning the election into a clear referendum on governance. She pointed to a generational shift, with younger Bengalis increasingly moving out of the state for better opportunities, calling it a worrying trend. Chakraborti also stressed that key issues like women's safety - once a strong point for Kolkata - have not been adequately addressed in the campaign discourse.
