During a rally in Chandipur, West Medinipur, Union Home Minister Amit Shah confidently declared that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would emerge victorious in the Bengal assembly elections, stating, “Tata, bye-bye. Your time is up.” As the counting of votes began on May 4, 2026, Shah's prediction gained traction as the BJP led in 176 out of 294 seats, exceeding the majority mark of 148. The Trinamool Congress (TMC), led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, is trailing with 94 seats. This election is particularly critical for Banerjee, as she is currently losing in her own constituency, Bhabanipur, to BJP's Suvendu Adhikari. If she loses, it would mark a significant defeat for her and her party, symbolizing a potential shift in Bengal's political landscape. The BJP's lead has sparked celebrations at their offices across the state, reinforcing the party's growing influence in West Bengal.
