PM modi double attack: The politics of Bihar is scorching in flames these days. On the one hand, the BJP has opened an election front in support of Nitish Kumar, on the other hand, Tejashwi Yadav’s RJD is facing attacks from every direction. But this time the story is not limited to Bihar only. This time the BJP’s strategy has crossed the boundaries of the states. On the one hand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public meeting in Motihari, Bihar, and a few hours later he was busy in the speech of Trinamool Congress in Durgapur, West Bengal. This is not a coincidence, but the trick of political chess, in which ‘political breach’ is happening in two states simultaneously. When Modi gave the slogan of ‘New Bihar’ from Motihari, then the echo of ‘Change Bengal’ was heard from the crowd of Durgapur. Was it the initial knock of the 2026 Bengal elections, or vow to the return of NDA in Bihar? Or both?
Bihar: The last battle to save ‘good governance’?
The atmosphere in Bihar is hot. Nitish Kumar is again with the BJP and the NDA has entered the field with full force. PM Modi shouted with Motihari and said, “Will make new Bihar, then NDA government once again.” He made it clear that this time not only votes, vision needs employment for youth, roads for villages and house for every poor. But with this he also left a quiet message – “If the NDA did not come, Bihar will return again from where we took it out.” The public also understands this. The allegations against the leaders of RJD, the discord within the Grand Alliance and the questions about law and order have made the path of Tejashwi Yadav difficult. In such a situation, if PM Modi’s visit is called an ‘electoral surgical strike’, then there will be no exaggeration.
Bengal: Will Didi’s fort fall in 2026?
The Trinamool Congress has been in power for 14 years in Bengal. But now the BJP is also gearing up for the next assembly elections there. The manner in which PM Modi challenged Mamata Banerjee in Durgapur, this time the fight is going to be a ‘war of ideology’, not just power. Modi described the Mamta government as advocates of infiltrators, mother of corruption, and patron of Syndicate Raj. He assured the public that “If the BJP comes, Bengal will again become a stronghold of industries, youth will get employment and women will feel safe.” The most shocking thing was that PM Modi started his speech with “Jai Maa Kali”. This was a big symbolic message to go to Mamata Banerjee’s stronghold and challenge her own cultural politics.
BJP’s stormy attack on two fronts simultaneously, what is the real agenda?
The question is why PM Modi chose Bihar and Bengal in a single day? Experts say that this is part of the ‘Triple Agenda’ –
1. Gather support for Nitish in Bihar
2. Mamta’s land slip in Bengal
3. And showing that the BJP is the most ‘aggressive player’ not only in the politics of the states but also in the politics of the state.
This visit of Modi shows that the BJP is now connecting every election to the ‘National Agenda’ i.e. local issues, but a narrator global.
Didi vs Modi: This time direct confrontation
In the last assembly elections, Mamata Banerjee stopped the Modi wave on Bengal land. But this time the atmosphere has changed. Issues such as sand mafia, teacher recruitment scam, violence in panchayat elections, and communal polarization have caused great damage to the image of TMC. Modi is holding these weaknesses and putting these questions in front of the public, “Do you just want an allowance or future?” He repeatedly said that the youth of Bengal is migrating from the state, investors are running away due to fear, and more people are getting admitted in jails. This language is not just criticism, but for a warfast for a Bengal in which the slogans of “Jai Shri Ram” have now become a political weapon.
Bihar + Bengal = Modi’s ‘East Zone Strategy’
If you look at, then the real gameplan of the BJP is to make ‘Eastern India’ its new stronghold. North India has already strong hold, holding hold in South India, but focusing on eastern India – especially Bihar, Jharkhand, Bengal and Odisha – is part of a long strategy. If Nitish returns to power again in Bihar, BJP will get a strong shoulder. And if Mamta’s grip in Bengal is weak, then the way will be cleared for 2029.
Preparation of 2026 or the foundation of 2029?
It would be a big mistake to consider this latest tour of Bihar and Bengal to be the preparation for the assembly elections only. This is the foundation of the World War 2029 where the BJP wants to decide the political direction and condition of the country, not just power. Mamta Banerjee, Nitish Kumar, Tejashwi Yadav have all started the fire test. And PM Modi has told that now only the opposition will not change, the states will also change.
