It is tempting to see a parallel between that election and the BJP’s intervention in West Bengal this general election. Indeed, the success of these meetings has forced the West Bengal chief minister to organize many more public meetings than she originally planned. First, it is entirely possible that there is a Modi ‘wave’ across the country that has not left West Bengal unaffected. The importance of public meetings in the districts is that they create a buzz. This is why it is best to approach the morning of May 23 with an open mind.
