The Trinamool Congress (TMC) saw a sharp fall in the 2026 Assembly elections in West Bengal. In the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the party had led in 192 Assembly segments. Now, it is down to below 100 seats. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which led in just 90 segments in 2024, is now set to win over 200 seats. This marks a major shift in the state’s politics. The BJP is likely to form its first government in Bengal. The result ends 15 years of TMC rule and shows a strong swing in voter support.
