Battle for Bengal: CAA, pandemic likely to influence Phase 6 elections in 43 seats 

Election to the West Bengal Assembly is being held in eight phases starting from March 27, with the final round of voting taking place on April 29. Five of eight phases of the Bengal Assembly election are over, with the remaining three phases to be held on April 22, April 26 and April 29.

This is the phase that will tell us whether the highly polarised debate around Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) swayed voters in West Bengal or not. This is the phase that will determine whether candidates with filmi connections continue to command premium over others in this assembly election. And this is the phase that will let us know whether the raging pandemic has dampened the spirits of ever enthusiastic voters of the state or not.
