West Bengal's political landscape in 2025 is shaped by upcoming assembly polls, border issues with Bangladesh, and identity politics. The state grappled with the spillover of unrest from Bangladesh, including attacks on minorities, while also facing the detention of Bengali-speaking laborers in other Indian states. The Mamata Banerjee-led TMC is emphasizing Bengali identity against the BJP's Hindutva, a strategy that proved effective in past elections. A significant electoral roll revision also marked the year, with millions of names being removed.
