BJP Set to Form First Government in West Bengal After Crossing 200-Seat Mark

In the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, BJP has crossed the majority mark of 200 seats in the 294-seat House, poised to form its first government in the state. Counting is nearly complete, with Trinamool Congress leading only in the Rajarhat New Town seat where one round remains. The state voted in two phases on April 23 and 29 with over 92% voter turnout. This marks a significant shift from TMC's previous dominance. BJP also retained Assam for a third term. Trump congratulated PM Modi on the Bengal win, calling it historic.
