Women Offer Special Prayers in Varanasi, Seek BJP’s Victory in Bengal Poll Battle

May 4, 2026

Varanasi: In a symbolic show of faith and political support, women supporters in Varanasi offered special prayers and performed religious rituals seeking victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the ongoing West Bengal election battle.

The prayers were held at prominent ghats and temple areas in the holy city, where women devotees gathered in large numbers to perform aarti and traditional rituals, invoking divine blessings for the BJP’s success in Bengal.

Participants said the prayers reflected their hope for a political change in West Bengal and expressed confidence in the BJP’s campaign in the state. The event comes amid heightened political activity as the Bengal election contest intensifies between the BJP and the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC).

The spiritual gathering in Varanasi also underscores the BJP’s continued emphasis on blending cultural symbolism with political outreach, especially in politically significant electoral battles. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who represents Varanasi in Parliament, has recently addressed major public events in the city as the Bengal campaign remains a national political focus.

Political observers note that West Bengal remains one of the most closely watched battlegrounds in Indian politics, with the BJP aggressively attempting to expand its footprint against the entrenched TMC government.
