Is BJP Unbeatable? Bengal Has the Answer

This episode features Anant Gupta, political correspondent at Scroll.in and former reporter with the India bureau of The Washington Post. In this conversation, we discuss Bengali society, the long history of political violence in Bengal, how the BJP managed to crack a state once seen impossible for Hindutva politics, the outsider narrative, Mamata Banerjee’s aura, caste equations, and whether Bengal reveals something bigger about the future of Indian elections. Does Bengal show that the BJP has found a new electoral formula, or are there limits to this machine after all? Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/video-n...
