The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is aiming for a historic win in West Bengal by ousting the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) in 2026. BJP's Bengal president Samik Bhattacharya expressed confidence in a landslide victory, citing the people's rejection of the TMC government.
Bhattacharya stated, 'People of the state have already rejected the Trinamool Congress government and, in a few hours, the overwhelming majority of the seats will confirm that. In the fight between Mamata Banerjee and the people, the people have rejected Mamata Banerjee.'
Meanwhile, TMC chief Mamata Banerjee urged her party workers to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity on counting day. She alleged incidents of power outages and disruptions in CCTV surveillance in several districts.
West Bengal Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari offered prayers at the Lakshmi Narayan Temple ahead of vote counting, expressing confidence in the BJP's victory.
