In India, political campaigns intensified across multiple states. Prime Minister Narendra Modi took aim at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, accusing her of “working for infiltrators” and framing the state election as “a battle to save Bengal’s identity.” Banerjee fired back, calling it “deeply unfortunate that the PM chose to mislead the nation over the women’s quota bill,” alleging the central government was using women as a political shield to push through a delimitation exercise. Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu’s assembly elections drew attention to local demands for healthcare and agricultural infrastructure, with smaller parties like DMDK navigating shifting alliances.
