Five Factors that Collapse TMC Govt in West Bengal: Mamata Banerjee’s 15 years of politics has collapsed in Bengal. Their fort has been destroyed by BJP. The results of the assembly elections from Bengal and other states of the country, which came on Monday, May 4, 2026, have now made the picture clear. There was a close contest between BJP and TMC in Bengal. During this time, many big party leaders including PM Modi, Amit Shah were busy campaigning vigorously to form the government in the state. There were many factors behind the defeat of the backward TMC in the Bengal elections. The biggest factor that has emerged among these is the questions being raised regarding women’s safety after the RGKar incident.

(These five big factors led TMS to sink…)

RGKar case brought Mamta government on backfoot in front of the whole country

Mamta government came on the backfoot in front of the entire country when the RGKar Medical College incident shook everyone. Here, on April 9, 2024, a female trainee doctor was raped and murdered in a government hospital in Kolkata. During this period, the safety of doctors and women’s safety emerged as a big issue in the state.

The incident took place on the night of August 9, 2024, and the body of a 31-year-old female doctor was found. In this case, post mortem confirmed sexual abuse and murder. The accused turned out to be hospital employee Sanjay Roy, who was deployed at the hospital to assist the police. Considering the sensitivity of this case, Kolkata High Court handed over the case to CBI. The accused was convicted by the Sealdah Court on 18 January 2025. Also sentenced to life imprisonment. During this incident, Mamata government was also accused of protecting the criminal. BJP raised this issue strongly and also on the request of the victim’s mother, BJP has made her the election candidate from Panihati Assembly.

Was the effect of SIR visible in the elections?
The Election Commission carried out the SIR process in Bengal. During this period, names of many voters were removed from the list. This could be because his name was registered at two places, or he was not a voter of the state. The names of dead voters were also removed. Mamta Banerjee opposed this. A petition was filed in the Supreme Court, but the Supreme Court rejected it. During this period, names of 90 lakh voters were deleted from the entire state. Bangladeshi people also returned to their homes during Bengal elections. A large number were also seen on the Bangladesh and India borders. He did not have any concrete document to prove his citizenship.

Hindu vote divided in Bengal
This time Hindu voters supported BJP in Bengal elections. Which played an important role in defeating Mamata government in this election. In the last few years, the issue of indecency with Hindu women had been a hot topic in the state. An atmosphere of fear among Hindus was also seen in the state. Mamta government could not stop all these things, and Hindu voters voted for BJP in solidarity this time. This time BJP raised the issue of Hindutva loudly in the state.

Mamta’s Muslim card could not be used
The biggest reason for TMC’s defeat in this election was its inclination towards Muslim people. This one-sided inclination was visible many times in the state. This hurt his image even among Hindus. During this period, the influence of Bangladesh also settled in the minds of Hindus. Hindu voters in Bengal remained silent this time and today everything is in front of everyone in the results.

Apart from this, Hindus were targeted in the violence in Murshidabad and Malda of Bengal. During this time, the Governor also met the victims, but the Mamata Banerjee government did not take action against the accused. For this reason also the entire Hindu society remained against TMC.

Corruption and anti-incumbency strengthened its grip in the state.
The issue of corruption kept rising prominently in the government of Mamata Banerjee, who was in power for 15 years. Here many allegations of ration scam and recruitment scam were leveled against the government. There is an allegation of money laundering of Rs 9 thousand to 10 thousand crore in the ration scam. Apart from this, there were allegations of giving jobs by giving huge bribes in the appointment and recruitment process. Due to all these, Bengal was in a mood for change against the state government.
