TMC Retains West Bengal Bar Council Control, Wins Majority of Elected Seats
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) retained control of the West Bengal Bar Council by winning 15 of the 23 elected seats, maintaining its influence among the state's legal fraternity despite the BJP's recent Assembly election victory. The BJP secured three seats, the Left Front three, and Congress two. The TMC also won four of the five reserved women’s seats. These results contrast with the Assembly polls, highlighting TMC's continued organizational strength within the legal community.
