Saffron ecosystem has decided not to confine such exercises to its strongholds and will attempt to go to every corner, including in the minority-dominated areas where it traditionally does not fare well in Bengal
In anticipation of the general election, the BJP is getting ready to concentrate on all 42 Lok Sabha seats and all 294 Assembly seats in Bengal on Monday in an effort to interact with the public as much as possible. They will do this by taking advantage of the inauguration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
The saffron ecosystem has made the decision to expand these efforts beyond its strongholds and will make an effort to reach every region of Bengal, including the minority-dominated districts where it has historically had difficulty.

According to party insiders, all leaders, including MPs and MLAs, were instructed by the central leadership to remain in their individual areas and build relationships with the people.
"I've been delivering lights throughout my constituency for the last two days. We want to deliver 50,000 lights by the next morning, having distributed close to 22,000 thus far. "We have requested that everyone light their lamps in the evening," BJP MLA Ashok Kirtania of Bongaon North said.

"In the upcoming election, those attempting to put an end to the festivities surrounding the opening of the Ram temple will receive a fitting response," he said.
