Amid this landmark political shift, attention is now turning to the key strategists often described as the real “heroes” behind the BJP’s unprecedented performance in Bengal.

ta-end="538">Sunil Bansal – The Master Strategist
Sunil Bansal was appointed in-charge of West Bengal in 2022, where he played a crucial role in strengthening the party’s organisational base. Known for his low-profile working style and data-driven approach, Bansal focused heavily on identifying silent voters and building feedback-based micro strategies to expand the BJP’s reach at the grassroots level.
Earlier, he is also credited with playing a key role in bringing Odisha into the BJP’s fold, marking a significant organisational breakthrough for the party.
Nishikant Dubey, Biplab Deb and Mahesh Sharma are also key contributors behind the BJP’s historic rise in West Bengal.
