The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) officially on Thursday launched its campaign preparations for the upcoming assembly elections in Bihar, West Bengal, and Tamil Nadu by appointing senior leaders to oversee its strategies in these states. The announcement underscores the party’s determination to strengthen its position in these crucial electoral battlegrounds.
For the high-stakes Bihar assembly elections, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has been named the in-charge.

The BJP, as the senior-most ally in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar, aims to retain power under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar of the Janata Dal (United) (JDU).
In West Bengal, Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav, known for his successful track record in electoral campaigns, has been appointed as the in-charge. He will be assisted by former Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb as co-in-charge. The BJP is eyeing significant gains in the state, where it seeks to expand its influence in the upcoming polls.
