Assembly Elections 2026 LIVE: Amit Shah To Address Rallies, Lead Roadshows In Bengal Today

Assembly Elections 2026 LIVE: The 2026 Assembly elections are being conducted in multiple phases, starting with the first round on April 9 and continuing through the month, with vote counting scheduled for May 4.

Polling is taking place in Assam, Kerala, Puducherry, and West Bengal, each witnessing its own unique political contest and electoral dynamics.

The BJP-led NDA is focused on retaining power in Assam while seeking to expand its presence in southern and eastern states. Meanwhile, the Congress-led INDIA bloc, along with regional parties, is working to capitalise on anti-incumbency sentiments.

Major issues shaping the campaign include economic challenges, delivery of welfare schemes, law and order, and regional aspirations.
