Don’t overlook development issues, BJP cautions its cadre

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is strategically navigating the complex socio-political landscape of Assam and West Bengal by emphasizing development issues alongside ethnicity. As the party gears up for elections, it is focused on addressing the concerns of various communities, particularly aiming to avoid alienating Muslim voters while tackling the sensitive topic of illegal immigration. This dual approach seeks to reinforce the BJP's commitment to developmental initiatives, ensuring that it resonates with a broad spectrum of the electorate. The party recognizes that overlooking developmental matters could adversely affect its support base, especially in regions where ethnic identities play a significant role in voter sentiment. By striking a balance between these critical issues, the BJP hopes to consolidate its position and appeal to diverse voter groups in these key states, which are vital for its political ambitions in the upcoming polls.
