The 2026 Assembly elections saw several “giant killer” results across states, with new or lesser-known leaders defeating senior politicians. In Tamil Nadu, MK Stalin lost Kolathur to TVK’s VS Babu by nearly 9,000 votes. In Assam, BJP’s Hitendra Nath Goswami defeated Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi in Jorhat. Kerala also saw key upsets, including IUML’s Parakkal Abdulla winning in Kuttiadi. In West Bengal, BJP made gains in areas like Kalimpong. These results show a shift where strong leaders faced tough local challenges. Many seats once seen as safe changed hands in close contests. (PC: X)
