The Bharatiya Janata Party has launched a new channel for prospective candidates to apply for the forthcoming municipal elections in Kolkata and Howrah. The party encourages citizens to submit their applications through dedicated email addresses and strategically placed drop‑boxes.

Designated email addresses have been set up across key civic locations in both cities, while drop‑boxes are located in easily accessible public spaces. The initiative aims to streamline the nomination process for local residents who wish to contest the elections.
