Trinamool Congress's West Bengal defeat and the exodus of its MPs and MLAs have left Congress without a serious challenger inside the INDIA bloc. Trinamool has also signalled a possible Congress alliance for the 2029 general elections, consolidating opposition leadership around Congress.
Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan congratulated Suvendu Adhikari on being sworn in as West Bengal Chief Minister, attributing the BJP's win to public trust in PM Modi. The result ends over a decade of Trinamool Congress rule in the state.
Suvendu Adhikari was sworn in as West Bengal's first BJP Chief Minister, with Governor R.N. Ravi administering the oath in the presence of PM Modi and top NDA leaders. The BJP win ends over a decade of Trinamool Congress rule in a state with 42 Lok Sabha seats.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the swearing-in ceremony of the BJP's first-ever state government in West Bengal. The political milestone ends the party's long pursuit of power in one of India's most competitive and historically Left-leaning states.
The BJP won 207 of 293 West Bengal Assembly seats, ending 15 years of TMC rule under Mamata Banerjee. Suvendu Adhikari is being sworn in as the state's first BJP Chief Minister.
Suvendu Adhikari met Governor R.N. Ravi to stake claim to form West Bengal's government and will be sworn in as Chief Minister at Brigade Parade Grounds on Saturday. He is set to become the state's first BJP Chief Minister, ending years of Trinamool Congress rule.
West Bengal's BJP legislature party is meeting to elect a new Chief Minister ahead of the state's first-ever BJP government swearing-in, set for May 9 at Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata. The choice of CM will set the tone for how the party governs one of India's most politically significant states.
West Bengal's Governor has dissolved the 17th Legislative Assembly, paving the way for the BJP to form its first-ever state government. The swearing-in ceremony is scheduled for Saturday at Brigade Parade Grounds in Kolkata.
West Bengal's assembly and cabinet have been dissolved following the conclusion of the 2026 state election process, ending Mamata Banerjee's tenure as Chief Minister. A new government will be formed once the winning party or coalition stakes a majority claim before the Governor.
India's BJP is on course for a historic win in West Bengal, a state long held by Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress. A victory would mark a major shift in Indian politics, expanding BJP's reach into eastern India and weakening a key national opposition voice.
Modi's BJP has made significant inroads into West Bengal, one of India's most politically resistant states long held by Mamata Banerjee's TMC. The gains could reduce BJP's dependence on Hindi-belt states and pressure TMC's national ambitions ahead of future elections.
India's assembly elections in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala have produced major shifts, with the BJP poised to govern West Bengal and a film star-backed party winning big in Tamil Nadu. The outcomes will influence national political calculations ahead of future Lok Sabha contests.
Vote counting has begun in key Indian state elections, with exit polls giving the BJP a slim lead over Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress. The results will test Modi's ability to expand the BJP's state-level dominance against one of India's most resilient regional parties.
Post-poll violence has been reported across several West Bengal districts, including clashes between ISF and TMC supporters in Krishnamati where crude bomb explosions were alleged. Police have launched a probe into the incidents.
Exit polls for the 2026 Assembly elections predict a close fight in West Bengal, a DMK+ lead in Tamil Nadu, a UDF edge in Kerala, and NDA wins in Assam and Puducherry. The results will confirm whether these projections hold and may signal broader political trends in India.
The Supreme Court of India said it would seek a same-day report from the Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court over the Special Intensive Revision process in West Bengal. The CJI's expressed displeasure over near-daily mentions signals the apex court is moving toward direct oversight of the electoral roll revision
The Supreme Court declined to hear a petition challenging ECI's transfer of 63 IPS officers and 16 senior West Bengal officials, including the DGP and Chief Secretary, citing time constraints before the election. The refusal leaves the sweeping reshuffle intact and sets a precedent on judicial timing thresholds for pre
