What is West Bengal's politics?
West Bengal is one of India's most populous states, known for its distinct political identity. Unlike many other states, it has historically seen strong left-wing and regional party influence, rather than being dominated by India's national parties. The Chief Minister, Suvendhu Adhikari, is a key figure in this regional political scene.
