BJP Candidate Campaigns In Kolkata
Kosta Bakshi, a candidate for Narendra Modi's BJP, is campaigning in Kolkata for the West Bengal assembly elections. Bakshi is visiting residents door-to-door wearing traditional white and red attire while carrying a fish. The campaign approach focuses on visual cues and personal connection rather than policy speeches. A political leader campaigning in Kolkata, West Bengal, called recent claims regarding the region a lie. The leader stated that fish and rice are integral parts of Bengal's culture that will never end. The remarks were made during a campaign event in the eastern Indian city. The leader used the cultural significance of fish to address economic and geographic anxieties in the region. Rakesh Singh, a candidate for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), staged a spectacle in the port area of Kolkata.
