Baneshwar Barman, a resident of Baman Para village in West Bengal, fulfilled his vow of not cutting his hair for 15 years after the Trinamool Congress (TMC) was defeated in the 2026 assembly elections. Barman, a supporter of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), had made this vow in 2011 when the TMC, led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, came to power. With the BJP's significant win, securing over 200 seats in the 294-member assembly, Barman celebrated by shaving his head at a local salon, surrounded by supporters. This election marked the BJP's first victory in West Bengal's assembly polls, ending TMC's long-standing governance.
