India’s largest election in two years has been in full swing for the past few months, but as the outbreak of the Chinese Communist virus remains high, experts blame the government’s complacency and carelessness for the current outbreak, allowing election campaigns and large religious gatherings to take place. It is suspected that the election in West Bengal on the evening of the 2nd was lost by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to which Prime Minister Narendra Modi belongs, due to the ineffective prevention of the epidemic.
The Central News Agency reported that the local election involved the voting of 175 million voters, and the most important is the population of 90 million people in West Bengal (West Bengal), Modi (Narendra Modi) and Home Minister Shah (Amit Shah) vigorously assist the election.
“The New York Times pointed out that West Bengal is one of India’s most populous provinces, and is currently the most powerful prime minister in India in decades under the rule of Modi, a major bastion of the opposition, becoming the main political parties must fight.
As of late last night, most of the votes were opened, and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which invested heavily in pre-election support, was still far behind the Trinamool Congress, despite winning more seats in West Bengal than in the last election.
The Trinamool Congress is led by Mamata Banerjee, who is currently India’s only female governor. Banerjee has managed to create a charismatic and street-fighting persona that can withstand the overwhelming fire of the ruling party.

In addition to West Bengal, the southern province of Kerala remains in the hands of the Left Democratic Front, a coalition of centrist and left-leaning parties, while the southern province of Tamil Nadu, a major science and technology innovator, is also firmly in the hands of the centrist Dravida Progressive Alliance.

The religiously complex northeastern province of Assam remains in the hands of the ruling party, while the former French colony of Puducherry on the east coast, now directly under the central government, was taken by the ruling party’s friends.
The results of the local elections were not as predicted before the election, but with the opposition parties in the relevant provinces receiving more votes than in the previous election, it can still be seen as a defeat for the ruling party. Arati Jerath, a leading Indian political commentator, said, “The Modi government is now having to wrestle with a public backlash over its mismanagement of the epidemic, and the rise of local lords is certainly bad news for Modi.”
