BJP breaks through Bengal and Bags Assam, Vijay’s TVK Stars in TN Blockbuster

But the laughing stock of Election 2026 was the eastern state of West Bengal, where the Trinamool Congress is seeking a fourth consecutive term in its sole bastion.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on

Ahead of the grand celebration planned at the party’s headquarters in Delhi, he said, “I bow to everyone in West Bengal. The people have given a magnificent mandate to the BJP and I assure them that our Party will do everything possible to realize the dreams and aspirations of the people of West Bengal. We will provide a Government that provides opportunity and dignity to all sections of society.” he said.

As the counting progressed, TMC’s strength seemed to be slipping further and further away. The political landscape of the state was changing with the campaign of the BJP, spearheaded by Amit Shah and with Modi as its guiding light; While it was making headway in the border, tribal and industrial areas, the TMC was holding ground in parts of Calcutta and selected rural strongholds.

According to the Election Commission, the BJP won or was ahead in 195 of the 294 seats; This was well ahead of the magic number of 147, and power in the state was finally in his hands. Trinamool Congress had 90 in number.

Pollsters said the writing may be on the wall. If the trends continue, it may be all over for tough-talking Mamata Banerjee and another victory for Brand Modi.

A defiant Banerjee disagreed.

“A false narrative is being spread,” he claimed in a video message.

The Chief Minister accused the Election Commission of “not declaring the results or results” in areas where the TMC was ahead.

“This is a game plan of EC and BJP because the poll panel is not announcing results or leadership in areas where we are leading,” he said.

Banerjee also alleged that there were irregularities in the counting process in some places.

“At many places, counting was stopped after the first two to three rounds. In Kalyani, we caught seven machines with serious anomalies,” he said.

“I appeal to everyone that neither TMC candidates nor counting officials should leave the counting centres,” Banerjee said. he said.

This was a volatile election campaign dominated by SIR issues, election rigging and polarization of discourse.

More than 2.5 lakh personnel of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), along with the state police, have been deployed to engage in a showdown with the TMC and the BJP in front of several vaults where EVMs are stored ahead of counting.

“BJP will form the government,” said a confident Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari, as his party looks set to make a historic breakthrough in the city.

West Bengal was one of the headlines of Election 2026; the other was superstar Vijay, who defied all odds and the flaw of the stampede at his rally in September 2025, where 41 people were killed. This is clearly a thing of the past as his party has broken through bipolar Dravidian politics and is poised to become the single largest party in Tamil Nadu by winning 109 of the 234 seats in the state.

The ruling DMK, which started the morning from third place, had 61 points and AIADMK had 44 points.

Chief Minister MK Stalin was trailing in Kolathur with 8,284 seats. According to Election Commission data, 15 more ministers are left behind.

With a huge victory in her pocket, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Wayanad MP thanked the people of the state for their overwhelming support.
