NCPI Considers Alliance with BJP for Bengal Municipal Polls; BJP Plans Solo Contest
Ahead of West Bengal's upcoming municipal elections, the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI) has indicated a possible coalition with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). However, BJP state leaders have signaled plans to contest independently, emphasizing their electoral strength without alliances. The NCPI, formed by former Trinamool Congress (TMC) members, seeks to extend its alliance with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to the polls. The elections are expected later this year, with both parties preparing their strategies amid shifting political dynamics.
