General election to the Legislative Assembly of West Bengal for 292 constituencies of the 294 constituencies in West Bengal are scheduled to be held between 27 March to 29 April 2021 in 8 phases.[1] Voting for 2 remaining constituencies was delayed and are scheduled to be held on 16 May 2021.[2]
Background
Electoral system
Outlined in Article 168 of the Constitution of India, the West Bengal Legislative Assembly is the only house of the unicameral legislature of West Bengal and not a permanent body and subject to dissolution.[3] The tenure of the Legislative Assembly is five years from the date appointed for its first sitting unless dissolved sooner. Members of the Legislative Assembly are directly elected by the people. The tenure of current West Bengal Legislative Assembly is scheduled to end on 30 May 2021.[4]
Previous general election
In the previous elections in 2016, the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC or TMC) retained its majority in the Legislative Assembly with 211 seats. The Indian National Congress won 44 seats and the Left Front won 33 seats fighting within an alliance. While the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha managed to win only 3 seats each of the total 294 seats.[5]
Political developments
In the 2019 general elections AITC won 22 and the BJP won 18 of the 42 Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal.[6] Bagging 40 percent of the vote share, an increase from the previous time and in by-elections from 2016 to 2021, BJP had also increased their seats in the legislative assembly by 31 as of 2021.[7] According to various political analysts, the shifting of left and other opposition voters towards the BJP caused the meteoric rise in BJP's vote share.[8][9][10]
Political issues
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic became an election issue.[11][12] The Government of West Bengal was accused of "fudging" the count of positive cases and deaths in the regions.[13] The AITC-led state government and BJP-led union government blamed each other for the surge in COVID-19 infections over the course of the campaign.[14]
The BJP accused Chief Minister Mamata Bannerjee of not having attended COVID-19 emergency management meetings held during the months of election campaigning, despite the advent of the second wave of infections.[15]
Cyclone Amphan
In May 2020, Cyclone Amphan hit the state a year before elections.[16][11] After the passing away of the cyclone, widespread allegations of mismanagement[17] and relief scam were seen.[18][19] Protest broke out in various district of the state over these allegations.[20][21] The opposition made it an election issue ahead of the Assembly polls.[22][23]
Citizenship, immigration and refugee issues
In 2019, the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Union Government passed the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 (CAA) in the Indian Parliament, promising citizenship to immigrants and refugees belonging from the religious minorities in Bangladesh and hoping to provide them with rehabilitation.[7][24] The BJP's Bengali booklet released in January 2020 claimed that the National Register of Citizens will be implemented to identify allegedly undocumented illegal muslim immigrants, but religiously persecuted Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Christian, Jain, Parsi and other religious minorities will be "shielded" by the Citizenship Amendment Act.[25][26]
Other issues
Polarisation amongst various religious, linguistic and caste communities are also likely to play a role in this election.[27][28][29][30][31] Arguments regarding who are native to the state and constituencies are also likely to impact the elections.[32][33][34] Rebellion and dissatisfaction of many Trinamool leaders are also likely to impact the elections.[35]
Schedule
Election schedule were announced on 26 February 2021 and the election will be held in 8 phases from 27 March 2021 to 29 April 2021 and votes will be counted on 2 May 2021.[36][37] Due to polling abnormalities, re-polling for the booth number 88 of Jangipara was held in the fourth phase.[38] The elections in Jangipur and Samserganj were adjourned due to the death of the Congress candidate in Samserganj and RSP candidate in Jangipur.[39] A new schedule for the election in these two seats were announced and the polling will be held on 13 May 2021.[40] However due to the day being Eid, the voting day was again rescheduled for 16 May.[41]
