In India currently we have 28 states and 8 UTs.
Now here's the thing, we need to analyze if suppose one state had to invade the other, what would be the net outcome if all the 28 states are at war with each other.
UTs are first conquered by the biggest state surrounding it, except Delhi which is force of its own. It is only unlocked if the someone has defeated all the kingdoms surrounding it.
Take a role of a state, give your analytical stats on why you think you can conquer the target state.

I'll start
State: West Bengal
Initial Targets: Bihar & Assam
Our strengths:
> Strong intellectualism and media manipulative skills,
>access to coastline thus enabling trades and possible alliances
> mixed terrain with mountains in the east and deltas by the south.
Our Weaknesses:
>nerfed hand-to-hand combat ability
>possible chances of an inner uprising of rebels
Potential allies : Uttar Pradesh
Odisha
Political Ideology: Trade - focused progressivism
Overall budget: 412 billion dollars
Defence budget : 89 billion dollars
Education and Research budget: 60 billion dollars
Infrastructure Budget: 130 billion dollars
Foriegn Relations Budget: 20 billion dollars
Others: 120 billion dollar
Population: 80 million
GDP growth rate : 8%
Phase I
Domestic Stability:
Launch major social programs from the “Others” $120B pool to minimize rebellion risk.
Create Bengal Media Authority ; use intellectualism & media to build a unified progressive-nationalist identity.
>Alliances
Uttar Pradesh: Propose joint industrial corridors + education exchanges.
Odisha: Partner on port development and shipbuilding to control Bay of Bengal trade.
Military Modernization : Spend initial $25B of defense budget on drones, naval fleet upgrades, and cyberwarfare units.
Phase II
>Soft Power Over Bihar
Heavy cultural and educational outreach: Bengal universities set up campuses in Patna & Gaya.
Flood Bihar media space with pro-Bengal narratives.
Expand trade networks into Bihar ; make it economically dependent.
>Assam Preparation
Establish cultural exchange + development aid projects.
Secretly support factions friendly to Bengal to weaken opposition.
Military:
Strengthen air force (stealth drones, strike fighters).
Form Special Stability Forces for counter-insurgency (to offset weak hand-to-hand combat).
Foreign Relations:
Reach trade pacts with Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Thailand to encircle Assam diplomatically.
Phase III
>Subjugating Bihar
Economic Takeover: By now, Bihar’s GDP is tied to Bengal trade routes. Offer cheap credit & infrastructure, making them dependent.
Political Subversion : Use propaganda/media manipulation to stir pro-Bengal factions inside Bihar.
Support local leaders aligned with Bengal’s progressive ideology.
Military Posture: Deploy forces along Bengal-Bihar border, but avoid direct war; use economic strangulation.
Cyber sabotage of Bihar government networks.
Outcome Goal: Bihar becomes a satellite state / semi-autonomous region under Bengal’s trade system.
Phase IV
>Assam Campaign
Hybrid Warfare: Simultaneously deploy military pressure and soft power.
Naval blockade of critical trade routes (if hostile).
Media-driven campaigns in Assamese press: promise investment, jobs, education.
Direct Conflict (if required)
Use drones + cyberattacks to cripple Assam infrastructure.
Limited ground incursions with elite special forces, not mass infantry.
>Diplomatic Cover
Present actions as “stabilization and economic integration” to international community.
Outcome Goal: Assam absorbed as a protectorate; oil, tea, and natural resources flow into Bengal economy.
Phase V
Consolidation of Greater Bengal Bloc
>Internal Integration
Pour $30B from education budget into Bihar & Assam universities, train new loyal elites.
Propaganda push: promote “Bengal-led Prosperity Sphere.”
>Economic Expansion
Form Eastern Indian Economic Zone (West Bengal + Bihar + Assam + Odisha + UP).
GDP growth surges past 10% due to trade and resource extraction.
>Defense Doctrine
Maintain naval supremacy in Bay of Bengal.
Fully operational cyber-command to deter rebellion or external sabotage.
Global Diplomacy
Forge Bengal-ASEAN trade corridor.

Okay WB is probably very comfortable state of choice. I will assume all the initial stats you shared were based on reality - regarding initial budget and population mainly.
Potential flaw with your plan
>multi year stretching to atleast decade of plan and work
>pact with UP
interesting but for that you will have atleast following states in way
>jharkhand
Even then it's a small strip which bihar can cull. Or bihar can partner with jharkhand. With resources of jharkhand and manpower of bihar it can easily start to take over the northern part of the bengal.
It controls the water from ganga which can be used to flood bengal while signing a pact with UP. UP / Bihar and Jharkhand are more culturally close knit - despite warring regions.
Interesting nonetheless.
-----
I guess i will not directly participate so i will not make counter point or represent any state. I will just clarify muddier rules in between if anon want to.
Like below,
>A pact can't be used by two states to war against third state until one of the two states lends its sovereignty to the other state.
This rule is important.
But two states can share the resources as long as user justifies how it is beneficial to each other - compared to opposition offer.
example: what is something bengal can offer to jharkhand and up which can't be done by bihar.

WTF? Why is this so elaborate? Also won't it all make sense to conquer Bhangalis in Bhagladesh and displace them entirely if you are planning to take a war? More resources more territory, it will be a win win over all.
Probably the best presented case so if no one presents a better case, this will end up being the winner it seems.
