The Intrigue of 'Setting': Unveiling West Bengal's Political Allegations

In West Bengal's vibrant political arena, the term 'setting' has become synonymous with behind-the-scenes strategic alliances among political rivals. As the 2026 assembly elections approach, this term resurfaces, shaping narratives and creating suspicions as the ruling TMC, BJP, CPI(M), and Congress engage in a complex electoral dance.

Terms like 'CPMOOL', 'Bijemool', and 'Ram-Bam' have entered political discourse, hinting at perceived alliances. The TMC's 'Ram-Bam' theory of Left votes shifting to BJP after 2019 is contested by CPI(M) and Congress, arguing that electoral alliances are merely strategic necessities.

Political analysts note that 'setting' thrives on ambiguity and speculation, with no solid proof required. As political rhetoric intensifies, alliances and accusations continue to draw voter attention, transforming gossip into campaign currency, shaping the landscape ahead of the upcoming polls.
