BJP Forms First Government in West Bengal After Defeating TMC

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has comprehensively defeated the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in the West Bengal Assembly elections, ending TMC's 15-year rule. BJP is set to form its first government in the state. The results mark a significant shift in the state's political landscape. In related developments, BJP won 6 seats in Kolkata while TMC retained 5, with Suvendu Adhikari securing Bhabanipur. A suspicious envelope containing a switched-off mobile phone and documents linked to Raniganj constituency was found near an Asansol strong room, raising allegations of irregularities by BJP leaders against TMC-favoring officers.
