In the 2026 West Bengal Assembly election, the BJP secured a decisive victory with 207 of 294 seats, reducing the Trinamool Congress (TMC) to around 80 seats. Despite a relatively narrow vote-share gap, TMC faces internal challenges, including resignations and defections attributed to dissatisfaction with party leadership rather than ideological differences. The BJP's win marks a significant political shift, while TMC's organizational stability and future remain uncertain.
