Some interesting comments from Kerala pollster Dheeraj about West Bengal election. He had a very good track record and won praise from JVC Sreeram.
1.
https://x.com/i/status/2046152509212016712
Similarities between vibes of 2021 and 2026
PK admitted defeat in CH podcast:
IPAC members resign
viral YT videos of ppl wanting change
Leftist outlets like Wire reporting anti incumbency
Random local channels like priyobandhu predicting victory
RW convinced of victory
2.
TN dispensation is definitely losing. West Bengal is a black box. No one knows, not even pollsters and politicians
3.
BJP has put maximum effort in Bengal, but thing is unless people want change in enuf number govt will remain. And here is the catch, bengal is a low aspiration society which is why CPM ruled for 35 and TMC for 15 yrs. Enuf ppl may just be satisfied with rs 1500 dole out
4.
Reposted by Dheeraj; on why the BJP campaign is different from the last time.
https://x.com/i/status/2046155868048380411
Most importantly six reasons:
1. More Candidates from rank and file.
2. ₹3k annapoorna yojana
3. Increased central forces
4. SIR
5. 15 yrs of anti incumbency vs 10
6. Micro focus! Hyper localisation of campaign mixed with blockbuster rallies of everyone.

Mamata Banerjee’s Former advisor Jayanta Ghosal: “Never seen such BJP before, everything from the election committee to poll security is tightly handled.”

“Earlier, bureaucrats would brush off orders saying ‘we’ll see after polls’; now even they appear unsettled.”

Demography is not the reason why BJP has so far failed to win WB. Assam had worse demographics when BJP won for 1st time. FFM is the key, and this time BJP is trying to break all 3 components of TMC's winning combination
Fear- unprecedented security
Freebie-3000/month
M - SIR
7.
i know BJP can win Bengal with lower vote share than tmc like odisha, but still 10% is significant
8.
https://x.com/i/status/2045885737556689217
While entire RW has vibed onto BJP win in Bengal, I am still sticking to my FFM is unbeatable theory 🥺
9.
my biggest blackpill for WB is that Mamta will likely handout cash before elections like others and WB being poor low aspiration, that will be more than enuf.
2nd blackpill is few contra indicator ppl who always get their prediction wrong and they are predicting BJP winning WB

Most important reason is stupidity of Hindus -- majority of them are quite happy voting for TMC, and remain as blind as ever (just like many Kashmiri Pandits abusing Hindus and siding with Muslims)

DMK has carefully appropriated low caste planks by hijacking what other parties or people did. but they are slowly getting exposed.

The movie - Maamannan - where a low caste politician becomes speaker - it was actually done by Jayalalitha - but DMK Udayanidhi is the hero - this is being pointed out in many SM shorts

Periyar - only spoke about anti brahminism. but actually promoted casteism - now Seeman is exposing him in many places.

At ground - people say things like - my only wish is DMK does not come to power.

The issue is ADMK is also beholden to DMK style politics and BJP alliance will be held against them. Lets see what happens...

Both parties are based on Tamil Nationalism and Dravidian movement. Sacrificing and sidelining Annamalai is a mistake IMO. Building an alternative brand will take time and grass-root level effort. There is no credible BJP leader who could commit to that effort. ADMK alliance will not buy anything for BJP.

Annamalai can be tasked to takeover the DMK strongholds in the next 5 years. ADMK will not have objections to it.

@KanchanGupta
Shockingly Shameful!

@MamataOfficial insults the most iconic figure of Bengali Culture, Bengali Literature, Bengali Music, Bengali Art and Bengali History — she belittles the Pride of Bengal who was called the ‘Light of Asia’ by the world.

Mamata Banerjee is ignorant about Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore’s greatness; she does not know basic অ আ ক খ of Bengal’s history and heritage.

Mamata Banerjee claims at rally that Gandhi Ji returned his knighthood in protest against the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.

Every child in Bengal knows the context of the song ‘Eyi manihar aamay naahi saajey’; every person in India knows it was Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore who renounced his knighthood in 1919 as a mark of protest against the brutality at Jallianwala Bagh.

Facts matter.

Especially when cynical politicians claiming to lead West Bengal can’t get its basic junior school history right.

@KanchanGupta
Excellent decision by Election Commission.

@CEOWestBengal issues strict instructions restricting the use of motorcycles on voting day in West Bengal — this will surely cramp the style of Mamata Banerjee’s Lumpen Brigade who in past elections would roam from booth to booth, village to village, rigging the vote and terrorising the voter.

Unhappy tidings for Mamata Banerjee:

Only Central Armed Police Forces will be present within 100 m of polling booths in Bengal; only RO approved agents.

No entry for TMC’s Goonda Bahini; toadie cops of TMC regime to stay away.

@CEOWestBengal reads out the Riot Act.

"Public Apology or Retire": Annamalai Blasts Kharge Over "Terrorist" Jibe at PM Modi | NewsX
On the final day of the Tamil Nadu campaign, BJP leader K. Annamalai and Union Minister Piyush Goyal slammed Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge for calling PM Modi a "terrorist." Demanding a public apology, the BJP labeled the remark an "insult to the nation," while Kharge later clarified he meant "terrorizing" opponents.
