Political activity in West Bengal has intensified ahead of the final phase of voting, with fresh speculation emerging around high-profile campaign visits. According to sources, former cricketer Harbhajan Singh and political leader Raghav Chadha may be involved in campaign activities in Kolkata, including the Bhabanipur area, as parties attempt to strengthen their electoral presence.
The development comes as former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is scheduled to campaign in West Bengal on Sunday in support of the ruling party candidate in Bhabanipur. He is also expected to hold multiple events and meet Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee during his visit. Kejriwal’s campaign is planned across multiple days, focusing on support for the party’s candidates in the final phase of polling.
In response to these political developments, sources suggest that a counter-strategy is being considered by the opposition, with discussions around deploying Harbhajan Singh and Raghav Chadha in parallel campaign outreach. While there is no official confirmation regarding their exact schedules or roles, political observers believe such moves are aimed at shaping a parallel narrative during the high-intensity campaign period.
Raghav Chadha has recently been in political focus following reports of his departure from his previous party and subsequent alignment with the BJP, along with several other former MPs. His growing visibility and youth appeal are seen as factors that could be leveraged in campaign efforts. Meanwhile, speculation continues over whether these leaders will actively participate in rallies in Kolkata, adding further momentum to the evolving electoral contest.
