The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 10 Jun 2019Will Bengal be Narendra Modi’s launch pad for truly inclusive politics?

This is borne by the surge in BJP’s support in the state — 18 seats out of a total of 42 with a vote share of 40.25%. The party is now the primary opposition to Mamata Banerjee’s ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC), and in line to form the next state government in 2021— or before.
