Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath played a significant role in the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, campaigning in 22 to 35 constituencies where the BJP won approximately 88-90% of those seats. The BJP secured a historic majority with 207 seats, ending the 15-year Trinamool Congress (TMC) rule. Adityanath's campaign emphasized law enforcement and criticized TMC governance, while TMC retained a few constituencies despite BJP's gains. His involvement is seen as a key factor in BJP's electoral success in West Bengal.
