When are the elections in West Bengal?
West Bengal Assembly elections 2026 are going to be held in two phases this time. The first phase will be held on 23 April 2026 and the second phase will be held on 29 April 2026. After this, counting of votes will take place on May 4, 2026 and the results will be revealed on the same day. Voting will be held on all 294 seats in the state and to form the government, any party or alliance must win at least 148 seats.
The politics of West Bengal has always been very interesting. At present the politics of the state is mainly divided between three big parties.
How is the politics of West Bengal?
First of all let’s talk about Trinamool Congress i.e. TMC, whose leader is Mamata Banerjee. At present, it is their government in the state and their hold is considered strong especially among the villages and women. In his politics, Bengal’s identity i.e. regional pride is given special place. On the other hand, there is Bharatiya Janata Party i.e. BJP, whose main face is considered to be Suvendu Adhikari. BJP performed well in the 2021 elections and emerged as the main opposition party.
This time the party is contesting elections on development, employment and national issues and is trying to give a tough competition to TMC. The third front is of Left parties and Congress, in which CPM and Congress are contesting the elections together. These parties were in power for a long time i.e. from 1977 to 2011, but now their position is weak. Still they are trying to make a comeback.
