Rapid Political Shift in West Bengal Following 2026 Assembly Elections
Following the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has experienced a rapid decline, with numerous councillors resigning and several MPs joining the National Democratic Alliance. Internal disputes surfaced as many MLAs backed an expelled leader over Mamata Banerjee's nominee. Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) formed the government, facing challenges in areas previously dominated by TMC, where political tensions and past conflicts influenced their campaign efforts. This swift political shift contrasts with the gradual declines seen in West Bengal's past ruling parties.
