The 2026 Assembly elections in India resulted in a historic performance by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which secured 202 seats in West Bengal, effectively ending the 15-year rule of the Trinamool Congress led by Mamata Banerjee. This victory marks the BJP's first government in the state. In Assam, the BJP maintained its dominance by winning 82 seats, ensuring a third consecutive term for Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. Meanwhile, in Tamil Nadu, the Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK), led by actor Vijay, made a stunning debut by becoming the largest party with 105 seats, disrupting the Dravidian political duopoly. The Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) also made a notable comeback in Kerala, winning 63 seats and ending the decade-long governance of the Left Democratic Front (LDF). These results signify a substantial political realignment across regions, with the BJP expanding its influence in the east and northeast, while the UDF reclaimed Kerala and TVK reshaped Tamil Nadu's electoral dynamics.
