West Bengal's political landscape has undergone significant transformations over the past two decades, marked by the decline of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)], the rise of the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC), and the emergence of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as a formidable opposition force. This study examines the changing political dynamics in the state by analyzing electoral trends, party strategies, and shifting voter behavior. The paper also explores the crucial role of media—both traditional and digital—in shaping political discourse, mobilizing voters, and influencing election outcomes. Traditional media platforms such as print newspapers, television news channels, and radio have historically played a central role in political communication. However, with the rise of digital platforms like Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, and YouTube, political engagement has shifted toward social media-driven mobilization, propaganda dissemination, and real-time crisis management. This research highlights how political parties in West Bengal have adapted their media strategies, leveraging digital tools for targeted voter outreach, micro-level campaign management, and narrative control. The study further investigates the impact of misinformation, political polarization, and digital media manipulation on democratic processes. By drawing on case studies from recent state elections, social movements, and media-driven controversies, this paper provides a comprehensive analysis of how evolving media ecosystems continue to influence West Bengal's political trajectory. The findings underscore the increasing integration of media strategies into political party operations, the growing role of social media influencers and IT cells in election campaigns, and the challenges posed by fake news, cyber warfare, and digital propaganda. In conclusion, this study contributes to a broader understanding of the interplay between politics and media in a rapidly evolving digital era, offering insights into how political competition in West Bengal is being reshaped through strategic media interventions. The paper also raises critical questions about the future of political communication, media ethics, and the democratic implications of digitally-driven electioneering.
