Rather than delivering policy-heavy speeches, he is relying on symbolism to connect with voters in a state where fish is central to daily life.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"628\" data-end=\"880\">A similar strategy is being used by fellow BJP candidate <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Rakesh Singh<\/span><\/span>, who has been seen lifting fish during campaign appearances as he challenges Kolkata\u2019s mayor <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Firhad Hakim<\/span><\/span> in a high-profile contest.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"882\" data-end=\"1110\">In West Bengal, fish is more than just food \u2014 it is deeply tied to identity, tradition and culture. That cultural importance has now been drawn into the political arena, as parties seek to reassure voters amid a heated campaign.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1112\" data-end=\"1409\">Chief Minister <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Mamata Banerjee<\/span><\/span>, leader of the ruling <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Trinamool Congress<\/span><\/span>, has accused the BJP of threatening Bengal\u2019s way of life. She has warned voters that the party could impose restrictions on eating fish, meat and eggs \u2014 claims the BJP strongly denies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1411\" data-end=\"1522\">\u201cBengal lives on fish and rice,\u201d Banerjee said at a recent rally, framing food habits as a core cultural issue.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1524\" data-end=\"1834\">The BJP has rejected these allegations, with senior leader <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Smriti Irani<\/span><\/span> calling them \u201ca lie\u201d and insisting that Bengal\u2019s food traditions would remain untouched. Party figures have instead accused the ruling government of using the issue to divert attention from corruption allegations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1836\" data-end=\"2140\">Prime Minister <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Narendra Modi<\/span><\/span> has also weighed in, using fish as a political talking point from a different angle. A vegetarian himself, Modi criticised the state government for failing to make Bengal self-sufficient in fish production, claiming the state still depends on imports.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2142\" data-end=\"2299\">Banerjee quickly pushed back, saying most of the state\u2019s fish demand is met locally and accusing BJP-led states of restricting non-vegetarian food practices.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2301\" data-end=\"2573\">The debate highlights how food habits in India can carry strong political overtones. While the BJP is sometimes associated with promoting vegetarian norms in certain regions, West Bengal has a deeply rooted non-vegetarian culture where fish is a staple across communities.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2575\" data-end=\"2814\">According to studies, a majority of people in West Bengal consume fish regularly, making it one of the most fish-dependent regions in the country. The food also carries layers of meaning tied to geography, history and even social identity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2816\" data-end=\"2992\">Experts say this symbolic weight has made fish an effective political tool. Campaigns are not just about policy or governance, but also about cultural reassurance and identity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2994\" data-end=\"3276\">The symbolism extends beyond politics into literature and social life. Bengali writers like <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Manik Bandopadhyay<\/span><\/span> and <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Amitav Ghosh<\/span><\/span> have long used fish as a motif in their works, reflecting its importance in the region\u2019s cultural imagination.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3278\" data-end=\"3501\">As campaigning intensifies ahead of the state election, fish has emerged as an unlikely yet powerful emblem \u2014 representing not just a dietary preference, but a broader contest over identity, culture and political narrative.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3503\" data-end=\"3678\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">While it may not ultimately decide the election outcome, the prominence of fish in campaign imagery underscores how deeply culture and politics are intertwined in West Bengal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"text-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"pointer-events-none -mt-px h-px translate-y-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom)-14*var(--spacing))]\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In India\u2019s eastern state of West Bengal, election campaigning has taken an unusual turn, with politicians brandishing fish as they canvass for votes \u2014 a move that reflects deeper cultural and political messaging.
