Peoples Pulse Exit Poll 2026 & Janmat Exit Poll 2026: The People’s Pulse exit poll for the West Bengal Assembly elections 2026 has reversed the political picture and indicated a big victory for the Trinamool Congress. According to the survey, the TMC+ alliance under the leadership of ‘Bengal’s daughter’ Mamata Banerjee seems to be getting a clear majority with 177 to 187 seats. This figure not only indicates the return to power, but also tells the story of Mamata’s political hold becoming stronger even after 15 years.

According to exit polls, BJP is expected to get 95 to 110 seats. This number shows that BJP can remain a strong opposition in the state, but this figure is not enough to reach power. Congress (CONG) is expected to get 1 to 3 seats, while the Left parties (LEFT) are seen getting limited to 0 to 1 seat. Other parties do not seem to be losing any seats.

TMC gets majority in opinion polls also

Opinion polls have also predicted TMC to get majority. In this, TMC party seems to be getting between 195 to 205 seats. So BJP seems to be getting 80 to 90 seats. Apart from these, 1 to 3 seats are seen going to the account of Congress and 0 to 1 seat are seen going to the account of Left.

Record voting has increased the political temperature
Record-breaking voting in the West Bengal Assembly elections 2026 has increased the political temperature. More than 92 percent voting was recorded in the state, which is among the highest figures in recent years. Political parties are reading such a huge participation in their own favor – while the ruling camp is calling it a reaffirmation of support, the opposition is considering it as a sign of a wave of change. The activism of voters from rural areas to urban seats has made the contest exciting.

Impact of welfare schemes like Lakshmi Bhandar
The biggest story of this exit poll seems to be the impact of welfare schemes like ‘Lakshmi Bhandar’. This scheme, which provides direct financial assistance to women, is being considered as a game changer for Mamata. Its impact was visible at the grassroots level, especially among rural and women voters, which changed the electoral trend in favor of TMC.

The image of Bengal’s daughter will be a decisive factor in this election.
The image of ‘Bengal’s daughter’ has also emerged as a decisive factor in this election. Mamata Banerjee has established herself as a regional, grassroots and struggling leader, whose impact is clearly visible among the voters. Despite aggressive campaigning by BJP, the narrative of Mamata’s road shows and meeting people while walking on the streets seemed to be going in favor of TMC.
Overall, this exit poll of People’s Pulse shows that the contest in West Bengal was not one-sided, but TMC took the lead in the decisive moments. If these figures translate into results, then Mamata Banerjee will return to power for the fourth time and will retain her hold on state politics.
