He refused to accept the election results as the real decision of the public and alleged that there was large-scale rigging, violence and interference by the central government in the elections.

She also said that TMC agents were thrown out of the counting centre, their workers were beaten up at many places and people from the BJP IT cell allegedly accessed the data system. Mamata claimed that her party had won the election morally, but was shown defeat due to rigging.

Mamata Banerjee: Recently assembly elections were held in West Bengal. But when the results came on May 4, 2026, there was more talk of defeat than victory in political circles. BJP hoisted the flag of victory in Bengal by securing more seats than the majority.

At the same time, after being the Chief Minister (Bengal CM) for three consecutive terms, Mamata Banerjee had to face a crushing defeat. After the victory of BJP and the defeat of Trinamool Congress (TMC), there is an atmosphere of happiness and sadness in West Bengal. But this is being seen for the first time when in politics, the defeat of any party has become a topic of discussion more than the victory.

There is more talk of TMC’s defeat in Bengal than BJP’s victory.

Even after the results of the assembly elections in West Bengal, the political atmosphere is heated. The swearing-in ceremony of the new government (West Bengal CM Oath ceremony) is proposed in Bengal on Saturday, 9 May 2026. But TMC’s Mamata Banerjee was adamant that she has not lost and will not resign from the post of Chief Minister.

On this subject, Mamata says that – in view of the recent election results, she will not resign, because she believes that the votes were forcibly looted and the entire voting process was rigged. Therefore, even after losing the West Bengal Assembly elections, he has refused to resign from the post of Chief Minister (Mamata Banerjee Resignation).

Meanwhile, according to the latest information, the Governor of West Bengal has announced the dissolution of the Assembly. Let us tell you that on Thursday, May 7, 2026, the five-year tenure of the West Bengal Assembly had ended. In such a situation, the Assembly was dissolved as per constitutional rules, so that any kind of legal crisis does not arise. Now it will not make any difference whether Mamata Banerjee resigns or not.

Bengal Election: A historic political change has been seen in the assembly elections of West Bengal. Bharatiya Janata Party has formed the government in the state for the first time. After almost 15 years of dominance by Mamata Banerjee and TMC, BJP was successful in penetrating the political fort which was once considered almost impenetrable. While rallies, road shows and grassroots campaigns played their role, it is also being said that this time the real battlefield was social media.

The digital war behind the elections

Unlike traditional election campaigns which depended only on rallies and public meetings, in this election a digital strategy was also implemented parallel to the grassroots campaign. According to media reports, BJP’s digital team was working in many 4 star and 5 star hotels located across the state about 4 months before the elections.

From here, teams continuously created and posted content for social media platforms. The campaign materials, including videos, graphics and political messages, were designed to influence public opinion and maintain an online presence.

BJP’s digital strategy

According to media reports, this digital campaign was led by Amit Malviya. Amit Malviya is the head of BJP’s IT cell. Under his leadership, the party created an online network whose aim was to directly shape the political narrative in Bengal.

Instead of relying solely on traditional media coverage, the BJP focused on reaching out to voters through smartphones and social media platforms.

Network of 3000 influencers

The biggest aspect of this campaign was to create a network involving more than 3000 social media influencers across the state. These included both small and big content creators active on platforms like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

According to reports, it was necessary for influencers to have at least 5000 followers. Their role was to broadcast political messages, spread the election narrative and keep online discussions active throughout the election season.

youth outreach

The biggest advantage of BJP was that it was successful in connecting with young voters and people active on social media. Content spread through influencers spreads more quickly. This sounds more like his own than traditional political speeches. By having a consistent presence online, the party manages to dominate discussions, set the narrative and get its message across to voters again and again. In today’s politics, repeating something on social media and being visible often becomes as important as ground campaigning.
