During the second phase of the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, numerous Tollywood celebrities, including Prosenjit Chatterjee, Sourav Ganguly, Koel Mallick, and Subhashree Ganguly, actively participated by casting their votes in Kolkata. The polling process was reported as smooth and peaceful, with strong voter turnout and tight security. Many actors shared inked-finger selfies on social media, encouraging public participation. Sourav Ganguly and his wife Dona Ganguly voted early, drawing significant attention and promoting civic engagement.
The articles primarily focus on the participation of celebrities in the West Bengal elections without endorsing any political party. Coverage highlights figures from different affiliations, such as Raj Chakrabarty (TMC) and Roopa Ganguly (BJP), presenting a neutral view of the electoral process. The framing centers on democratic engagement and voter turnout rather than political competition or controversy.
The overall tone across the articles is positive and encouraging, emphasizing smooth and peaceful voting, high participation, and the inspirational role of public figures. The sentiment reflects civic pride and democratic enthusiasm, with no negative or critical language regarding the election process or participants.
