"People's Government is going to be formed": Samik Bhattacharya as trends project BJP win in W Bengal 2026 polls

West Bengal BJP chief Samik Bhattacharya says a "people's government" is forming, signaling end of TMC rule, as trends show BJP leading on 187 seats.

"TMC's current political system has ended, and the people's government is going to be formed. - Samik Bhattacharya"

Kolkata, May 4

West Bengal BJP President Samik Bhattacharya on Monday said that a "people's government" will soon be formed, signalling the end of Trinamool Congress's political dominance in the state.

Speaking to the reporters, Bhattacharya said, "...TMC's current political system has ended, and the people's government is going to be formed."

As per the leads, the Trinamool Congress is headed for a defeat in the state, derailing ambitions by Mamata Banerjee of a consecutive fourth term.

According to ECI trends, the BJP was leading on 187 seats, while the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress was ahead on 92 seats.

West Bengal recorded the highest-ever voter turnout since independence, with an impressive 91.66% polling in Phase-II of the Assembly elections. In the phase-I poll, participation was 93.19%, taking the combined poll percentage to 92.47%.

Women workers of the BJP carried paper cones of 'jhalmuri' and sang 'jhal legeche' as they celebrated the party's performance in the state elections.

A worker said, "PM always goes among the common man. He had 'jhalmuri,' and it is Didi who felt 'jhal' (spicy). She had even humiliated the 'jhalmuri wala' and said that an SPG personnel was made to sit there. Common people of the state have given her a befitting reply."

Meanwhile, BJP workers raised slogans of 'Jai Shree Ram' outside the residence of West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata as the BJP gained a comfortable majority.

In the 2021 West Bengal Assembly election, the Trinamool Congress led by Mamata Banerjee secured a decisive mandate, winning 213 out of 294 seats with a vote share of around 48 per cent, while the Bharatiya Janata Party emerged as the principal opposition with 77 seats and roughly 38 per cent votes, marking a sharp rise from its previous tally. The Left-Congress alliance failed to win any seats.

I'm happy for democracy but worried about the divisive language. "Jai Shree Ram" slogans outside Mamata Banerjee's home is not civil behavior. We should celebrate victory with dignity, not humiliate opponents. Let's hope a BJP government brings development, not just polarization.

As an American, I'm fascinated by India's electoral energy. 92% turnout in modern democracy is incredible. But the "jhalmuri" reference seems petty politics. Real change requires substance, not symbolism. Let's see if BJP can deliver on promises for Bengal's farmers and industry.

Didi's arrogance finally caught up with her ❤️ The 'jhalmuri' incident was shameful - humiliating a street vendor. Common people have given a fitting reply. However, I hope BJP focuses on employment and infrastructure, not just temple politics. Bengal needs real development, not rhetoric.

It's concerning to see a party celebrating with religious slogans. Democracy should unite, not divide. West Bengal has a rich cultural fabric - we must ensure BJP doesn't tear it apart. The high turnout shows people want change, but we need to watch how the change unfolds. 🧐

Great news! TMC's dynasty politics and corruption are over in Bengal. From 77 to 187 seats - people have spoken loud and clear. I'm Bengali and this is a new dawn. But BJP must prove it can govern better than TMC. Development, law and order, and jobs are the real tests. 💪
