Bengal, with polarised minority vote, makes Hindutva & security good poll planks, feels BJP

BJP's Bengal manifesto champions Hindutva and national security, promising a crackdown on infiltrators and implementing Uniform Civil Code. It also targets women and youth with welfare schemes, aiming to consolidate Hindu votes against TMC's alleged appeasement. The party stresses border security and curbing corruption, seeking to replicate its Assam success.
