41 people died after a rally in Karur last year.
Six months later, the questions remain.

For many, this is no longer political. It is personal.

And as Tamil Nadu moves toward elections, this tragedy is one of the main issues that continues to shape the conversation.

As Bengal heads into the 2026 elections, the SIR process has emerged as a major political flashpoint.

Shashi Panja questions reported voter list changes and asks: if the contest is strong, why large-scale deletions?

The exercise, overseen by the Election Commission of India, is now at the centre of a wider political debate.

Between stability and aspiration, the choice is evolving.

BJP leader Swapan Dasgupta lays out the party’s Bengal 2026 equation: TMC has turned 15 years of power into a crisis of Bengal’s national relevance.

Dasgupta makes it clear, BJP’s pitch in Bengal is not about projecting a leader, but about questioning 15 years of governance under Mamata Banerjee.

Schemes like Lakshmir Bhandar have created a strong base, especially among women voters. The response now is to match the benefit and shift the conversation to jobs and growth.

Dharmapuri, in the heart of North Tamil Nadu’s Kongu belt, is a litmus test for PMK, AIADMK, DMK and VCK politics.

The Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK), which represents the Vanniyar caste (12‑13% of the state), has long been the kingmaker in this region. Its allies change, but the Vanniyar vote can make or break the NDA‑vs‑DMK math in 2026.

Now, the party is split between founder S. Ramadoss (Ayya) and his son Anbumani Ramadoss, the man recognised by the Election Commission as PMK president with the mango symbol. In Tamil Nadu’s Dharmapuri, elections are shaped as much by caste equations as by political alliances.

For the NDA alliance, this arithmetic is critical. For the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, it could open a door.

In Tamil Nadu, the contest is increasingly shaping up as cash vs change.

TVK claims a shifting ground, a visible push from women voters, a younger electorate seeking new leadership, and signs of fatigue with cash-driven politics.

So what’s different this time?
Is there a genuine shift in voter behaviour, or is this just the language of a campaign? And can a new political force break through a decades-old order?

In Nabadwip, the election conversation is clear but divided.
For many, welfare schemes mean stability, dignity, and real support at home.
For others, the bigger question remains unanswered, where are the jobs?

Stay tuned for more ground voices from Bengal.

How are roles decided within a party?

Dilip Ghosh says organisational decisions define responsibilities, and leaders work within that structure.

From state president to MP, and now back in an Assembly contest, he describes his journey as part of the party’s ongoing campaign.

TMC minister Shashi Panja responds to BJP’s position on the SIR exercise.

She alleges that references to “one crore deletions” and “infiltrators” could target specific communities and deepen polarisation.

The Bharatiya Janata Party says the process is about verification and accuracy of voter rolls.

Between claims and counterclaims, the debate around SIR highlights the tension between documentation, identity, and politics in Bengal.

21 by-elections. 21 losses.
That’s the record since 2021.

When asked about it, Suvendu responds with: Claims of rigging, misuse of state machinery, and a system tilted against the opposition.
At the same time, the party points to its rise, from 3 seats in 2016 to 77 in 2021 and sets a bold target of 177+ in the next election.

Between recent results and future claims, the political narrative in Bengal remains sharply contested.

Tamil Nadu tells two stories at once.

On one side, a strong economic model, nearly 43% of India’s female industrial workforce and lakhs of women powering manufacturing.

On the other, a clear welfare backbone, ₹1000 monthly support, education benefits, and direct aid shaping everyday lives.

But alongside this, a new political undercurrent is visible.

Vijay’s entry is drawing attention, not for governance, but for familiarity and aspiration, especially among younger voters.

Between delivery, dependence, and desire for change, the voter is weighing more than just performance.
