Bengal Phase 2 Polls Raise High Stakes For BJP & TMC

As Phase 2 voting underway in Bengal, both BJP and TMC face key tests. The BJP aims to make inroads into TMC’s urban and suburban bastions, a key hurdle in its campaign. Meanwhile, Mamata Banerjee’s TMC party is banking on a strong showing to stay on track for 4th straight term. Congress and Left candidates are in fray but are likely to have limited impact.
