Priyanka Tiberewal has been selected for the Entally seat, and Sumana Sarkar will represent Balagarh. The elections in West Bengal are scheduled to be held in two phases, with voting taking place on April 23 and April 29, 2026. The BJP's candidate list marks the second phase of the party's preparations for the state polls, following its initial announcement earlier in the year. The party's strategy includes targeting key constituencies across the state, with a focus on urban and rural areas. The electoral schedule reflects the complexity of the West Bengal political landscape, where multiple parties are vying for dominance. The BJP's decision to release its second list underscores its commitment to a comprehensive campaign, aiming to consolidate its support base and challenge the ruling Trinamool Congress. The two-phase voting process is expected to ensure a smooth electoral process, with results anticipated in the following weeks.#west_bengal #bharatiya_janata_party #rekha_patra #roopa_ganguly #sabita_barman
