Legislative Assembly elections were held in [[West Bengal]] to elect all [[List of constituencies of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly|294 members]] of the [[West Bengal Legislative Assembly]] in two phases on [[2026 elections in India|23 and 29 April 2026]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/west-bengal-election-result-2026-falta-votes-will-be-counted-only-on-293-seats-tomorrow-heres-why-11441389|title=Votes Are Being Counted Only On 293 Seats In Bengal Today. Here's Why|publisher=NDTV|date=4 May 2026}}</ref> with the votes counted and results for 293 seats released on 4 May 2026. The election saw the defeat of the incumbent [[Trinamool Congress|All India Trinamool Congress]] (AITC or TMC), led by [[Mamata Banerjee]]. The [[Bharatiya Janata Party – West Bengal|Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) won the election in a [[landslide victory|landslide]] and became the first [[Right-wing politics|right-wing]] party to be elected to rule in the state.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/top-headlines/bjp-scripts-history-becomes-first-right-wing-party-to-storm-to-power-in-wb/|title=BJP scripts history, becomes first rightwing party to storm to power in West Bengal|publisher=The Tribune|date=5 May 2026|access-date=25 May 2026}}</ref><br />
<br />
Over 9 million voters were removed through the [[Special Intensive Revision]] (SIR) prior to the elections. This move has been criticized as erosion of democracy in India.<ref name="r877">{{cite web | last1=Ellis-Petersen | first1=Hannah | last2=Hassan | first2=Aakash | title=Millions in India stripped of vote before critical state election, as government seeks to 'purify' electoral roll | website=The Guardian | date=2026-04-22 | url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/22/india-west-bengal-state-elections-millions-stripped-of-vote | access-date=2026-05-09}}</ref> The election recorded a historic voter turnout of about 94%, surpassing even the [[2011 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election|2011 election]], highest ever for a [[Elections in India|General election for the Parliament or State Legislative Assembly in India]].<br />
In these elections, the [[Indian National Congress]] and the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]] returned to the assembly after having no seats since the last election. The [[All India Secular Front]] also retained its lone constituency, while the newly formed [[Aam Janata Unnayan Party]] of Humayun Kabir gained two seats.<br />
<br />
The Election Commission deployed over 350,000 security personnel in this state election, and conducted a largely violence-free election in a state with a history of political violence. There were 85,379 polling booths and about 4.5 lakh polling officers involved in the election. New booths were set up in urban areas in high rises and housing complexes due to allegations of voter intimidation in the previous election.<br />
<br />
Many political analysts reported anti-incumbency against the 15-year rule of the Trinamool Congress, widely known as AITC. Several politicians, including [[West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee|WBPCC]] president Subhankar Sarkar, blamed AITC misrule, filled with corruption, political violence, and especially cases of violence against women, such as the [[2024 Kolkata rape and murder]] at R.

<br />
== Political issues ==<br />
The campaign was shaped by disputes over electoral rolls and citizenship, border security and undocumented migration, and broader debates over identity, governance, women's safety, employment, development, and anti-incumbency after 15 years of AITC rule.<ref name="HinduContinuity">{{cite news |last=Singh |first=Shiv Sahay |date=20 March 2026 |title=West Bengal's two-cornered contest is one between continuity and change |url=https://www.thehindu.com/elections/west-bengal-assembly/west-bengals-two-cornered-contest-is-one-between-continuity-and-change/article70764900.ece |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref><ref name="FederalIssues">{{cite web |date=15 March 2026 |title=SIR, infiltration, women's safety: 10 factors set to dominate Bengal polls |url=https://thefederal.com/elections-2026/10-key-issues-west-bengal-assembly-elections-2026-234359 |website=The Federal |language=en}}</ref><ref name="HinduKeyIssues">{{cite news |date=15 March 2026 |title=West Bengal Assembly election 2026: Bengali 'asmita', Matua factor, urban discontent key issues |url=https://www.thehindu.com/elections/west-bengal-assembly/west-bengal-assembly-election-2026-bengali-asmita-matua-factor-urban-discontent-key-issues/article70746371.ece |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN|issn=}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== SIR and electoral rolls ===<br />
The [[Special Intensive Revision]] (SIR) of electoral rolls became one of the central controversies of the campaign. The SIR removed around 9 million voter entries from the rolls in West Bengal, representing about 12% of the electorate. Over six million were categorized as absentee or deceased, while the status of 2.7 million remained pending before tribunals. [[Dalit]] Hindus, especially from the [[Matua Mahasangha|Matua]] community, were affected in certain districts.<ref>{{Cite web |date= 26 April 2026|title= West Bengal elections:PM Modi pledges citizenship for Matua Namasudras under CAA |url= https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/west-Bengal-elections-pm-modi-pledges-citizenship-for-matua-namasudras-under-caa/articleshow/130529950.cms|website= The Times of India}}</ref> The move was criticised as "bloodless political genocide" and erosion of democracy in India.<ref name="r877"/><ref name="g244">{{cite web | last=Sobhan | first=Zafar | title=View from Bangladesh: The hardening of Hindutva in West Bengal will stifle pro-India voices | website=Scroll.in | date=2026-05-08 | url=https://scroll.in/article/1092689/view-from-bangladesh-the-hardening-of-hindutva-in-west-bengal-will-stifle-pro-india-voices | access-date=2026-05-10}}</ref><ref name="z523">{{cite web | last=Rehbar | first=Quratulain | title=India drops 9m voters, or 10% of total, weeks before West Bengal poll | website=Nikkei Asia | date=2026-04-28 | url=https://asia.nikkei.com/politics/india-drops-9m-voters-or-10-of-total-weeks-before-west-bengal-poll | access-date=2026-05-10}}</ref><br />
<br />
In February 2026, the Supreme court told the Calcutta high court to appoint judicial officers for helping west Bengal in carrying out the SIR exercise.<ref>{{cite web |date=20 February 2026 |title= 'No option left': Top court's "Extraordinary" Order In Bengal SIR Case |url= https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/unfortunate-blame-game-supreme-court-tells-high-court-to-appoint-judicial-officers-for-sir-process-11112091 |website= NDTV}}</ref> It was decided to engage 150 judges from district session courts in the exercise.<ref>{{cite web |date= 21 February 2026 |title= West Bengal To Engage 150 judges For SIR Process Following Supreme Court Directive |url= https://newsonair.gov.in/west-bengal-to-engage-150-judges-for-sir-process-following-supreme-court-directive/ |website= All India Radio}}</ref><br />

<br />
=== Citizenship Amendment Act ===<br />
<br />
The [[Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019|Citizenship Amendment Act]] (CAA) remained a separate campaign issue, particularly in areas where refugee and Matua politics were significant. The Union government published details of the act's implementation in the [[Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019#Citizenship (Amendment) Act Rules, 2024|Citizenship (Amendment) Rules, 2024]], in March 2024, and BJP leaders said that a BJP government in West Bengal would speed up citizenship processing under the Act.<ref name="CAAOfficial">{{cite web |date=11 March 2024 |title=The Gazette of India: Citizenship (Amendment) Rules, 2024 |url=https://indiancitizenshiponline.nic.in/UserGuide/E_gazette_11032024.pdf |work=The Gazette of India |publisher=Government of India}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=3 March 2026 |title=Post-SIR, Centre forms two more panels to fast-track CAA applications in West Bengal |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/west-bengal/post-sir-centre-forms-two-more-panels-to-fast-track-caa-applications-in-west-bengal/article70696163.ece |work=The Hindu|last=Singh|first=Vijaita}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=12 April 2026 |title=PM Modi vows to fast-track CAA implementation in West Bengal if BJP comes to power |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/pm-modi-vows-to-fast-track-caa-implementation-in-west-bengal-if-bjp-comes-to-power-101775955590381.html |work=Hindustan Times}}</ref> The AITC argued that the issue was being used to polarise the electorate and that the overlap between CAA, SIR and citizenship rhetoric had increased anxiety among minorities and some migrant communities.<ref>{{cite news |title=In battleground Bengal, how TMC bets on SIR deletions, voter backlash to corner BJP |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/political-pulse/in-battleground-bengal-how-tmc-bets-on-sir-deletions-voter-backlash-to-corner-bjp-10637925/ |work=The Indian Express}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=25 March 2026 |title=Polarisation still an issue in 2026 Bengal polls, but TMC slightly better placed than BJP |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/political-pulse/bengal-assembly-2026-tmc-bjp-polarisation-minority-vote-share-data-analysis-10600577/ |work=The Indian Express}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Border security and migration ===<br />
Border security and undocumented migration were also major issues in the campaign. BJP leaders framed cross-border movement, border fencing and the [[Siliguri Corridor]] as matters of national security and linked them to their wider argument on infiltration.<ref>{{cite news |date=29 March 2026 |title='Bengal last remaining route for infiltration': Amit Shah says Assembly polls crucial for national security |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/bengal-last-remaining-route-for-infiltration-amit-shah-says-assembly-polls-crucial-for-national-security-10607005/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Bose|first=Tanusree}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=18 January 2026 |title=Infiltration changing West Bengal's demography: PM |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/west-bengal/infiltration-changing-west-bengals-demography-pm/article70519322.ece |work=The Hindu|last=Singh|first=Shiv Sahay}}</ref> The AITC rejected these claims as politically motivated and linked them to communal polarisation.<ref name="FederalIssues" /><ref>{{cite news |date=28 March 2026 |title=Amit Shah releases 'charge sheet' against TMC government, says Bengal polls key to nation's security |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/elections/2026/Mar/28/amit-shah-releases-charge-sheet-against-tmc-government-says-bengal-polls-key-to-nations-security |work=The New Indian Express|last=Maiti|first=Subhendu}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Identity politics ===<br />
Identity politics remained significant in the campaign. Bengali ''asmita'' (identity), the Matua vote, and questions of language, belonging and representation were prominent themes in several regions of the state.<ref name="HinduKeyIssues" /><ref name="FederalIssues" /> The AITC sought to present itself as the defender of Bengali identity and state autonomy, while the BJP tied identity questions to citizenship, migration and Hindu consolidation in selected constituencies.<ref name="HinduKeyIssues" /><ref>{{cite news |date=25 March 2026 |title=Polarisation still an issue in 2026 Bengal polls, but TMC slightly better placed than BJP |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/political-pulse/bengal-assembly-2026-tmc-bjp-polarisation-minority-vote-share-data-analysis-10600577/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Tiwary|first=Deeptiman}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Corruption ===<br />
Corruption and governance remained important opposition themes, especially because of the [[2022 West Bengal School Service Commission recruitment scam|school recruitment scam]] and other ongoing investigations by central agencies. These allegations formed a major opposition line of attack on the AITC government's record in administration, public recruitment and institutional credibility.<ref>{{cite web |date=15 April 2022 |title=Explained: What is the West Bengal School Service Commission recruitment scam? |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/explained-west-bengal-school-service-commission-recruitment-scam-7869437/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Chowdhury|first=Santanu}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=27 March 2026 |title='Chargesheet' first, manifesto next: Amit Shah to release document listing failures of TMC government |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/chargesheet-first-manifesto-next-amit-shah-to-release-document-listing-failures-of-tmc-government-10604448/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Bose|first=Tanusree}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=17 March 2026 |title=TMC under pressure as welfare politics meets voter frustration in Bengal |url=https://thefederal.com/elections-2026/tmc-under-pressure-as-welfare-politics-meets-voter-frustration-in-bengal-232281 |website=The Federal |language=en}}</ref> The AITC, by contrast, emphasised welfare delivery, continuity and its development record.<ref name=":0">{{cite news |date=20 March 2026 |title=Mamata woos voters with 10 commitments, says Bengal will be destination for industry |url=https://www.thehindu.com/elections/west-bengal-assembly/mamata-woos-voters-with-10-commitments-says-bengal-will-be-destination-for-industry/article70765593.ece |work=The Hindu|last=Chatterjee|first=Shrabana|last2=Singh|first2=Shiv Sahay}}</ref><ref name="HinduContinuity" /><br />
<br />
=== Women's safety ===<br />
Women's safety was a recurring issue in the campaign, especially after the [[2024 Kolkata rape and murder|2024 R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital rape and murder]] case, which drew national attention and remained part of the wider law and order debate.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Roy |first1=Suryagni |last2=Roy |first2=Anirban Sinha |date=15 August 2024 |title=Woman trainee doctor found dead in seminar hall of Kolkata hospital |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/cities/kolkata/story/west-bengal-trainee-doctor-dead-rg-kar-medical-college-hospital-2579796-2024-08-09 |website=India Today}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=16 August 2024 |title=Kolkata doctor rape-murder case: All you need to know |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/west-bengal/kolkata-doctor-rape-murder-case-all-you-need-to-know-3148176#6 |website=Deccan Herald}}</ref><ref name="FederalIssues" /> The AITC cited [[National Crime Records Bureau|NCRB]] data showing Kolkata's comparatively low reported crime rate among large cities, while the BJP argued that such data did not capture under-reporting or failures to register cases.<ref>{{cite report |url=https://www.ncrb.gov.in/uploads/files/1CrimeinIndia2023PartI.pdf |title=Crime in India 2023 - Statistics - Volume I |date=26 September 2025 |publisher=National Crime Records Bureau |location= |place=New Delhi |pages=211–266 |docket= |access-date= |format=PDF |work=}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=5 October 2025 |title=Kolkata again tops NCRB 2023 safety list: TMC lauds data, BJP raises questions over its accuracy |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/kolkata-again-tops-ncrb-2023-safety-list-tmc-lauds-data-bjp-raises-questions-over-its-accuracy-10288288/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Bose|first=Tanusree}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Economy and employment ===<br />
<br />
Employment, industrial development and public recruitment were also prominent issues, particularly among younger and urban voters. Concerns about job creation, delayed recruitment examinations, the effects of the recruitment scandal, and competing claims over investment and industrial growth featured prominently in the campaign.<ref>{{cite web |date=18 September 2024 |title=West Bengal economy performs poorly over several decades: EAC-PM paper |url=https://www.thehindu.com/business/Economy/west-bengal-economy-performs-poorly-over-several-decades-eac-pm-paper/article68654721.ece |work=The Hindu}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=6 October 2023 |title=WBCS Prelims postponed, fresh schedule expected soon |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/education/news/wbcs-prelims-postponed-fresh-schedule-expected-soon-check-more-details-here/articleshow/104210072.cms |work=The Times of India}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{cite web |date=17 March 2026 |title=TMC under pressure as welfare politics meets voter frustration in Bengal |url=https://thefederal.com/elections-2026/tmc-under-pressure-as-welfare-politics-meets-voter-frustration-in-bengal-234705 |website=The Federal |language=en|last=Purkayastha|first=Samir K}}</ref> The BJP foregrounded jobs and industrial revival in its criticism of the state government, while the AITC campaigned on welfare schemes and promised continued investment and infrastructure expansion.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{cite web |date=10 April 2026 |title=Rs 3,000 monthly assistance for women; new AIIMS, IIT for North Bengal: Amit Shah releases BJP Sankalpa Patra for Bengal polls |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/rs-3000-monthly-assistance-for-women-new-aiims-iit-for-north-bengal-amit-shah-releases-bjp-sankalpa-patra-for-bengal-polls-10629715/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Bose|first=Tanusree}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Anti-incumbency ===<br />
Anti-incumbency after 15 years of AITC rule was also noted as a factor in the contest, although it overlapped with disputes over SIR, identity and citizenship.<ref name="HinduContinuity" /><ref name="HinduKeyIssues" /><ref name=":1" /> Dissatisfaction over jobs, corruption, governance and law and order was often discussed alongside these issues rather than separately.<ref name="FederalIssues" /><ref name="IESIR" /><br />

* The conduction of SIR in the state before the election, removed about 60 lakh ASDD (Absent, Shifted, Dead and Duplicate) voter entries leading to reduced total voters and a high turnout.<br />
* Due to high deletion in the voter list, voters have felt importance to cast vote and use their democratic rights. Some, especially Muslims and Bangladeshi refugees, feared if they don't, it may create problems in their future voting rights, further leading to cancellation of other government facilities or even citizenship.<br />
* Media reported high numbers of migrant labours coming from other states for the election. Upon one viral video from Gujarat, TMC accused BJP of breaching Election code by arranging train tickets and foods to migrant voters of Bengal working in other states, who were returning to the state in order to vote.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ghosh |first=Shubhojyoti |date=2026-04-22 |title=পশ্চিমবঙ্গে ভোট: পরিযায়ী শ্রমিকদের ঘরে ফেরার ঢল নিয়ে বিজেপির বিরুদ্ধে অভিযোগ তৃণমূল কংগ্রেসের |url=https://www.bbc.com/bengali/articles/cq8wjl1lnvno |access-date=2026-05-02 |website=BBC News বাংলা |language=bn}}</ref><br />
* Possibilities of potential anti-incumbency like the previous 2011 election and a general trend all over the world during ruling party change in elections. This turned out to be true after the results.<br />
* In urban centres, mainly Kolkata metropolis, the usual low turnout trend changed. One of the main reason of this change was setting up of new booths in high rises and housing complexes. The residents, especially aged persons, felt excitement, ease and comfort in that while avoiding possibilities of poll violence outside.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Bannerjee |first=Sudeshna |date=1 May 2026 |title=New Town complexes vote at home |url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/elections/west-bengal-assembly-election-2026/new-town-complexes-vote-at-home-prnt/cid/2158543 |work=The Telegraph India}}</ref> In previous elections, there were cases of such high rises and complexes being locked up by mobs linked to the ruling party TMC, during the elections.

[[West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee|Bengal Congress]] president [[Subhankar Sarkar]] called the 15 years of Trinamool Congress rule as "filled with endless corruption, political violence, violence against women which include heinous crimes like the R. G. Kar case and the attempt to hide the involved criminals, underdevelopment, unemployment, etc. created agitation among the public that got reflected in the election results with the defeat of TMC and a first-time-win for the BJP". He further blamed TMC for paving the road for BJP to come to power in Bengal while respectfully accepting the people's verdict and also to play the role of a responsible and constructive opposition.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bharat |first=E.

The people of Bengal wanted to oust Mamata and were able to breathe a sigh of relief as she lost. You yourself are a thief, looting in every local elections". According to his analysis, he lost due to the first priority of Hindus to oust Mamata led TMC as they were fearing a "West Bangladesh" which on TMC winning would have caused a statewide 'Saffron Cyclone' and unprecedented Hindu polarization.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BJP wins in West Bengal: Adhir Chowdhury slammed Mamata Banerjee for not resigning yet |url=https://www.aajkaal.in/west-bengal/bjp-wins-in-west-bengal-adhir-chowdhury-slammed-mamata-banerjee-for-not-resigning-yet-494631 |access-date=2026-05-10 |website=www.aajkaal.in |language=bn-IN}}</ref> On the other hand, Congress workers were distributing sweets to people with joy as they celebrated the loss of TMC in Shyampur.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Roy |first=Subrata |date=2026-05-06 |title=হাওড়ায় বিজেপির জয়ের আনন্দে লাড্ডু বিলি কংগ্রেস নেতার |url=https://www.eimuhurte.com/state/howrah-congress-leader-distribute-laddu-for-victory-bjp/ |access-date=2026-05-12 |website=Ei Muhurte Breaking News in Bangla, বাংলা খবর, বাংলার আজকের খবর এই মুহূর্তে |language=en-US}}</ref> <br />

Bangladeshi analysts are portraying the developments in West Bengal with contentions.<ref name="bbcbangla" /> Although they highlighted that power shift in a state will not impact the central government's external affairs at large, they asserted that internal policy shifts in the state of West Bengal can create influence in Bangladesh's internal politics.<ref name="bbcbangla" /><ref>{{cite web|last=Chowdhury|first=Ziauddin|title=পশ্চিমবঙ্গে শুভেন্দু চ্যাপ্টার: বাংলাদেশ–ভারত সম্পর্কে কেমন প্রভাব ফেলবে|url=https://www.prothomalo.com/opinion/column/ppuho7hlf2|website=[[Prothom Alo]]|date=9 May 2026|language=bn}}</ref> Analysts were optimistic on the proposed treaty on [[Teesta River|Teesta]] water sharing, which had been stalled for a long-time due to former state government's objections.

Legislative Assembly elections were held in [[West Bengal]] to elect all [[List of constituencies of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly|294 members]] of the [[West Bengal Legislative Assembly]] in two phases on [[2026 elections in India|23 and 29 April 2026]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/west-bengal-election-result-2026-falta-votes-will-be-counted-only-on-293-seats-tomorrow-heres-why-11441389|title=Votes Are Being Counted Only On 293 Seats In Bengal Today.

The election saw the defeat of the incumbent [[Trinamool Congress|All India Trinamool Congress]] (AITC or TMC), led by [[Mamata Banerjee]]. The [[Bharatiya Janata Party – West Bengal|Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) won the election in a [[landslide victory|landslide]] and became the first [[Right-wing politics|right-wing]] party to be elected to rule in the state.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/top-headlines/bjp-scripts-history-becomes-first-right-wing-party-to-storm-to-power-in-wb/|title=BJP scripts history, becomes first rightwing party to storm to power in West Bengal|publisher=The Tribune|date=5 May 2026|access-date=25 May 2026}}</ref><br />
<br />
Over 9 million voters were removed through the [[Special Intensive Revision]] (SIR) prior to the elections. This move has been criticized as erosion of democracy in India.<ref name="r877">{{cite web | last1=Ellis-Petersen | first1=Hannah | last2=Hassan | first2=Aakash | title=Millions in India stripped of vote before critical state election, as government seeks to 'purify' electoral roll | website=The Guardian | date=2026-04-22 | url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/22/india-west-bengal-state-elections-millions-stripped-of-vote | access-date=2026-05-09}}</ref> The election recorded a historic voter turnout of about 94%, surpassing even the [[2011 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election|2011 election]], highest ever for a [[Elections in India|General election for the Parliament or State Legislative Assembly in India]].<br />
In these elections, the [[Indian National Congress]] and the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]] returned to the assembly after having no seats since the last election. The [[All India Secular Front]] also retained its lone constituency, while the newly formed [[Aam Janata Unnayan Party]] of Humayun Kabir gained two seats.<br />
<br />
The Election Commission deployed over 350,000 security personnel in this state election, and conducted a largely violence-free election in a state with a history of political violence. There were 85,379 polling booths and about 4.5 lakh polling officers involved in the election. New booths were set up in urban areas in high rises and housing complexes due to allegations of voter intimidation in the previous election.<br />
<br />
Many political analysts reported anti-incumbency against the 15-year rule of the Trinamool Congress, widely known as AITC. Several politicians, including [[West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee|WBPCC]] president Subhankar Sarkar, blamed AITC misrule, filled with corruption, political violence, and especially cases of violence against women, such as the [[2024 Kolkata rape and murder]] at R. G. Medical college, as the main reasons for the defeat of AITC.<br />

<br />
== Political issues ==<br />
The campaign was shaped by disputes over electoral rolls and citizenship, border security and undocumented migration, and broader debates over identity, governance, women's safety, employment, development, and anti-incumbency after 15 years of AITC rule.<ref name="HinduContinuity">{{cite news |last=Singh |first=Shiv Sahay |date=20 March 2026 |title=West Bengal's two-cornered contest is one between continuity and change |url=https://www.thehindu.com/elections/west-bengal-assembly/west-bengals-two-cornered-contest-is-one-between-continuity-and-change/article70764900.ece |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref><ref name="FederalIssues">{{cite web |date=15 March 2026 |title=SIR, infiltration, women's safety: 10 factors set to dominate Bengal polls |url=https://thefederal.com/elections-2026/10-key-issues-west-bengal-assembly-elections-2026-234359 |website=The Federal |language=en}}</ref><ref name="HinduKeyIssues">{{cite news |date=15 March 2026 |title=West Bengal Assembly election 2026: Bengali 'asmita', Matua factor, urban discontent key issues |url=https://www.thehindu.com/elections/west-bengal-assembly/west-bengal-assembly-election-2026-bengali-asmita-matua-factor-urban-discontent-key-issues/article70746371.ece |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN|issn=}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== SIR and electoral rolls ===<br />
The [[Special Intensive Revision]] (SIR) of electoral rolls became one of the central controversies of the campaign. The SIR removed around 9 million voter entries from the rolls in West Bengal, representing about 12% of the electorate. Over six million were categorized as absentee or deceased, while the status of 2.7 million remained pending before tribunals. [[Dalit]] Hindus, especially from the [[Matua Mahasangha|Matua]] community, were affected in certain districts.<ref>{{Cite web |date= 26 April 2026|title= West Bengal elections:PM Modi pledges citizenship for Matua Namasudras under CAA |url= https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/west-Bengal-elections-pm-modi-pledges-citizenship-for-matua-namasudras-under-caa/articleshow/130529950.cms|website= The Times of India}}</ref> The move was criticised as "bloodless political genocide" and erosion of democracy in India.<ref name="r877"/><ref name="g244">{{cite web | last=Sobhan | first=Zafar | title=View from Bangladesh: The hardening of Hindutva in West Bengal will stifle pro-India voices | website=Scroll.in | date=2026-05-08 | url=https://scroll.in/article/1092689/view-from-bangladesh-the-hardening-of-hindutva-in-west-bengal-will-stifle-pro-india-voices | access-date=2026-05-10}}</ref><ref name="z523">{{cite web | last=Rehbar | first=Quratulain | title=India drops 9m voters, or 10% of total, weeks before West Bengal poll | website=Nikkei Asia | date=2026-04-28 | url=https://asia.nikkei.com/politics/india-drops-9m-voters-or-10-of-total-weeks-before-west-bengal-poll | access-date=2026-05-10}}</ref><br />
<br />
In February 2026, the Supreme court told the Calcutta high court to appoint judicial officers for helping west Bengal in carrying out the SIR exercise.<ref>{{cite web |date=20 February 2026 |title= 'No option left': Top court's "Extraordinary" Order In Bengal SIR Case |url= https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/unfortunate-blame-game-supreme-court-tells-high-court-to-appoint-judicial-officers-for-sir-process-11112091 |website= NDTV}}</ref> It was decided to engage 150 judges from district session courts in the exercise.<ref>{{cite web |date= 21 February 2026 |title= West Bengal To Engage 150 judges For SIR Process Following Supreme Court Directive |url= https://newsonair.gov.in/west-bengal-to-engage-150-judges-for-sir-process-following-supreme-court-directive/ |website= All India Radio}}</ref><br />
<br />
The deletion of names from the rolls and the subsequent adjudication process became major political issues during the election period.<ref name="IESIR">{{cite news |date=30 March 2026 |title=Amid steep travel costs, SIR fears, Bengal migrants try to return home for a vote that feels vital |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/political-pulse/amid-steep-travel-costs-sir-fears-bengal-migrants-try-to-return-home-for-a-vote-that-feels-vital-10608576/ |work=The Indian Express}}</ref><ref name="HinduSIR">{{cite news |date=31 March 2026 |title=Election Commission actions under SIR risk disenfranchisement of genuine voters in Bengal: Mamata to CEC |url=https://www.thehindu.com/elections/west-bengal-assembly/election-commission-actions-under-sir-risk-disenfranchisement-of-genuine-voters-in-bengal-mamata-to-cec/article70807014.ece |work=The Hindu}}</ref> The AITC said that the exercise risked disenfranchising genuine voters, while the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) defended it as a revision of bogus entries and illegal migrants.

<br />
=== Citizenship Amendment Act ===<br />
<br />
The [[Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019|Citizenship Amendment Act]] (CAA) remained a separate campaign issue, particularly in areas where refugee and Matua politics were significant. The Union government published details of the act's implementation in the [[Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019#Citizenship (Amendment) Act Rules, 2024|Citizenship (Amendment) Rules, 2024]], in March 2024, and BJP leaders said that a BJP government in West Bengal would speed up citizenship processing under the Act.<ref name="CAAOfficial">{{cite web |date=11 March 2024 |title=The Gazette of India: Citizenship (Amendment) Rules, 2024 |url=https://indiancitizenshiponline.nic.in/UserGuide/E_gazette_11032024.pdf |work=The Gazette of India |publisher=Government of India}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=3 March 2026 |title=Post-SIR, Centre forms two more panels to fast-track CAA applications in West Bengal |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/west-bengal/post-sir-centre-forms-two-more-panels-to-fast-track-caa-applications-in-west-bengal/article70696163.ece |work=The Hindu|last=Singh|first=Vijaita}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=12 April 2026 |title=PM Modi vows to fast-track CAA implementation in West Bengal if BJP comes to power |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/pm-modi-vows-to-fast-track-caa-implementation-in-west-bengal-if-bjp-comes-to-power-101775955590381.html |work=Hindustan Times}}</ref> The AITC argued that the issue was being used to polarise the electorate and that the overlap between CAA, SIR and citizenship rhetoric had increased anxiety among minorities and some migrant communities.<ref>{{cite news |title=In battleground Bengal, how TMC bets on SIR deletions, voter backlash to corner BJP |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/political-pulse/in-battleground-bengal-how-tmc-bets-on-sir-deletions-voter-backlash-to-corner-bjp-10637925/ |work=The Indian Express}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=25 March 2026 |title=Polarisation still an issue in 2026 Bengal polls, but TMC slightly better placed than BJP |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/political-pulse/bengal-assembly-2026-tmc-bjp-polarisation-minority-vote-share-data-analysis-10600577/ |work=The Indian Express}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Border security and migration ===<br />
Border security and undocumented migration were also major issues in the campaign. BJP leaders framed cross-border movement, border fencing and the [[Siliguri Corridor]] as matters of national security and linked them to their wider argument on infiltration.<ref>{{cite news |date=29 March 2026 |title='Bengal last remaining route for infiltration': Amit Shah says Assembly polls crucial for national security |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/bengal-last-remaining-route-for-infiltration-amit-shah-says-assembly-polls-crucial-for-national-security-10607005/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Bose|first=Tanusree}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=18 January 2026 |title=Infiltration changing West Bengal's demography: PM |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/west-bengal/infiltration-changing-west-bengals-demography-pm/article70519322.ece |work=The Hindu|last=Singh|first=Shiv Sahay}}</ref> The AITC rejected these claims as politically motivated and linked them to communal polarisation.<ref name="FederalIssues" /><ref>{{cite news |date=28 March 2026 |title=Amit Shah releases 'charge sheet' against TMC government, says Bengal polls key to nation's security |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/elections/2026/Mar/28/amit-shah-releases-charge-sheet-against-tmc-government-says-bengal-polls-key-to-nations-security |work=The New Indian Express|last=Maiti|first=Subhendu}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Identity politics ===<br />
Identity politics remained significant in the campaign. Bengali ''asmita'' (identity), the Matua vote, and questions of language, belonging and representation were prominent themes in several regions of the state.<ref name="HinduKeyIssues" /><ref name="FederalIssues" /> The AITC sought to present itself as the defender of Bengali identity and state autonomy, while the BJP tied identity questions to citizenship, migration and Hindu consolidation in selected constituencies.<ref name="HinduKeyIssues" /><ref>{{cite news |date=25 March 2026 |title=Polarisation still an issue in 2026 Bengal polls, but TMC slightly better placed than BJP |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/political-pulse/bengal-assembly-2026-tmc-bjp-polarisation-minority-vote-share-data-analysis-10600577/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Tiwary|first=Deeptiman}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Corruption ===<br />
Corruption and governance remained important opposition themes, especially because of the [[2022 West Bengal School Service Commission recruitment scam|school recruitment scam]] and other ongoing investigations by central agencies. These allegations formed a major opposition line of attack on the AITC government's record in administration, public recruitment and institutional credibility.<ref>{{cite web |date=15 April 2022 |title=Explained: What is the West Bengal School Service Commission recruitment scam? |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/explained-west-bengal-school-service-commission-recruitment-scam-7869437/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Chowdhury|first=Santanu}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=27 March 2026 |title='Chargesheet' first, manifesto next: Amit Shah to release document listing failures of TMC government |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/chargesheet-first-manifesto-next-amit-shah-to-release-document-listing-failures-of-tmc-government-10604448/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Bose|first=Tanusree}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=17 March 2026 |title=TMC under pressure as welfare politics meets voter frustration in Bengal |url=https://thefederal.com/elections-2026/tmc-under-pressure-as-welfare-politics-meets-voter-frustration-in-bengal-232281 |website=The Federal |language=en}}</ref> The AITC, by contrast, emphasised welfare delivery, continuity and its development record.<ref name=":0">{{cite news |date=20 March 2026 |title=Mamata woos voters with 10 commitments, says Bengal will be destination for industry |url=https://www.thehindu.com/elections/west-bengal-assembly/mamata-woos-voters-with-10-commitments-says-bengal-will-be-destination-for-industry/article70765593.ece |work=The Hindu|last=Chatterjee|first=Shrabana|last2=Singh|first2=Shiv Sahay}}</ref><ref name="HinduContinuity" /><br />
<br />
=== Women's safety ===<br />
Women's safety was a recurring issue in the campaign, especially after the [[2024 Kolkata rape and murder|2024 R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital rape and murder]] case, which drew national attention and remained part of the wider law and order debate.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Roy |first1=Suryagni |last2=Roy |first2=Anirban Sinha |date=15 August 2024 |title=Woman trainee doctor found dead in seminar hall of Kolkata hospital |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/cities/kolkata/story/west-bengal-trainee-doctor-dead-rg-kar-medical-college-hospital-2579796-2024-08-09 |website=India Today}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=16 August 2024 |title=Kolkata doctor rape-murder case: All you need to know |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/west-bengal/kolkata-doctor-rape-murder-case-all-you-need-to-know-3148176#6 |website=Deccan Herald}}</ref><ref name="FederalIssues" /> The AITC cited [[National Crime Records Bureau|NCRB]] data showing Kolkata's comparatively low reported crime rate among large cities, while the BJP argued that such data did not capture under-reporting or failures to register cases.<ref>{{cite report |url=https://www.ncrb.gov.in/uploads/files/1CrimeinIndia2023PartI.pdf |title=Crime in India 2023 - Statistics - Volume I |date=26 September 2025 |publisher=National Crime Records Bureau |location= |place=New Delhi |pages=211–266 |docket= |access-date= |format=PDF |work=}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=5 October 2025 |title=Kolkata again tops NCRB 2023 safety list: TMC lauds data, BJP raises questions over its accuracy |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/kolkata-again-tops-ncrb-2023-safety-list-tmc-lauds-data-bjp-raises-questions-over-its-accuracy-10288288/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Bose|first=Tanusree}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Economy and employment ===<br />
<br />
Employment, industrial development and public recruitment were also prominent issues, particularly among younger and urban voters. Concerns about job creation, delayed recruitment examinations, the effects of the recruitment scandal, and competing claims over investment and industrial growth featured prominently in the campaign.<ref>{{cite web |date=18 September 2024 |title=West Bengal economy performs poorly over several decades: EAC-PM paper |url=https://www.thehindu.com/business/Economy/west-bengal-economy-performs-poorly-over-several-decades-eac-pm-paper/article68654721.ece |work=The Hindu}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=6 October 2023 |title=WBCS Prelims postponed, fresh schedule expected soon |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/education/news/wbcs-prelims-postponed-fresh-schedule-expected-soon-check-more-details-here/articleshow/104210072.cms |work=The Times of India}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{cite web |date=17 March 2026 |title=TMC under pressure as welfare politics meets voter frustration in Bengal |url=https://thefederal.com/elections-2026/tmc-under-pressure-as-welfare-politics-meets-voter-frustration-in-bengal-234705 |website=The Federal |language=en|last=Purkayastha|first=Samir K}}</ref> The BJP foregrounded jobs and industrial revival in its criticism of the state government, while the AITC campaigned on welfare schemes and promised continued investment and infrastructure expansion.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{cite web |date=10 April 2026 |title=Rs 3,000 monthly assistance for women; new AIIMS, IIT for North Bengal: Amit Shah releases BJP Sankalpa Patra for Bengal polls |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/rs-3000-monthly-assistance-for-women-new-aiims-iit-for-north-bengal-amit-shah-releases-bjp-sankalpa-patra-for-bengal-polls-10629715/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Bose|first=Tanusree}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Anti-incumbency ===<br />
Anti-incumbency after 15 years of AITC rule was also noted as a factor in the contest, although it overlapped with disputes over SIR, identity and citizenship.<ref name="HinduContinuity" /><ref name="HinduKeyIssues" /><ref name=":1" /> Dissatisfaction over jobs, corruption, governance and law and order was often discussed alongside these issues rather than separately.<ref name="FederalIssues" /><ref name="IESIR" /><br />

* The conduction of SIR in the state before the election, removed about 60 lakh ASDD (Absent, Shifted, Dead and Duplicate) voter entries leading to reduced total voters and a high turnout.<br />
* Due to high deletion in the voter list, voters have felt importance to cast vote and use their democratic rights. Some, especially Muslims and Bangladeshi refugees, feared if they don't, it may create problems in their future voting rights, further leading to cancellation of other government facilities or even citizenship.<br />
* Media reported high numbers of migrant labours coming from other states for the election. Upon one viral video from Gujarat, TMC accused BJP of breaching Election code by arranging train tickets and foods to migrant voters of Bengal working in other states, who were returning to the state in order to vote.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ghosh |first=Shubhojyoti |date=2026-04-22 |title=পশ্চিমবঙ্গে ভোট: পরিযায়ী শ্রমিকদের ঘরে ফেরার ঢল নিয়ে বিজেপির বিরুদ্ধে অভিযোগ তৃণমূল কংগ্রেসের |url=https://www.bbc.com/bengali/articles/cq8wjl1lnvno |access-date=2026-05-02 |website=BBC News বাংলা |language=bn}}</ref><br />
* Possibilities of potential anti-incumbency like the previous 2011 election and a general trend all over the world during ruling party change in elections. This turned out to be true after the results.<br />
* In urban centres, mainly Kolkata metropolis, the usual low turnout trend changed. One of the main reason of this change was setting up of new booths in high rises and housing complexes.

[[West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee|Bengal Congress]] president [[Subhankar Sarkar]] called the 15 years of Trinamool Congress rule as "filled with endless corruption, political violence, violence against women which include heinous crimes like the R. G. Kar case and the attempt to hide the involved criminals, underdevelopment, unemployment, etc. created agitation among the public that got reflected in the election results with the defeat of TMC and a first-time-win for the BJP".

The people of Bengal wanted to oust Mamata and were able to breathe a sigh of relief as she lost. You yourself are a thief, looting in every local elections". According to his analysis, he lost due to the first priority of Hindus to oust Mamata led TMC as they were fearing a "West Bangladesh" which on TMC winning would have caused a statewide 'Saffron Cyclone' and unprecedented Hindu polarization.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BJP wins in West Bengal: Adhir Chowdhury slammed Mamata Banerjee for not resigning yet |url=https://www.aajkaal.in/west-bengal/bjp-wins-in-west-bengal-adhir-chowdhury-slammed-mamata-banerjee-for-not-resigning-yet-494631 |access-date=2026-05-10 |website=www.aajkaal.in |language=bn-IN}}</ref> On the other hand, Congress workers were distributing sweets to people with joy as they celebrated the loss of TMC in Shyampur.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Roy |first=Subrata |date=2026-05-06 |title=হাওড়ায় বিজেপির জয়ের আনন্দে লাড্ডু বিলি কংগ্রেস নেতার |url=https://www.eimuhurte.com/state/howrah-congress-leader-distribute-laddu-for-victory-bjp/ |access-date=2026-05-12 |website=Ei Muhurte Breaking News in Bangla, বাংলা খবর, বাংলার আজকের খবর এই মুহূর্তে |language=en-US}}</ref> <br />

Legislative Assembly elections were held in [[West Bengal]] to elect all [[List of constituencies of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly|294 members]] of the [[West Bengal Legislative Assembly]] in two phases on [[2026 elections in India|23 and 29 April 2026]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/west-bengal-election-result-2026-falta-votes-will-be-counted-only-on-293-seats-tomorrow-heres-why-11441389|title=Votes Are Being Counted Only On 293 Seats In Bengal Today. Here's Why|publisher=NDTV|date=4 May 2026}}</ref> with the votes counted and results for 293 seats released on 4 May 2026. The election saw the defeat of the incumbent [[Trinamool Congress|All India Trinamool Congress]] (AITC or TMC), led by [[Mamata Banerjee]]. The [[Bharatiya Janata Party – West Bengal|Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) won the election in a [[landslide victory|landslide]] and became the first [[Right-wing politics|right-wing]] party to be elected to rule in the state.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/top-headlines/bjp-scripts-history-becomes-first-right-wing-party-to-storm-to-power-in-wb/|title=BJP scripts history, becomes first rightwing party to storm to power in West Bengal|publisher=The Tribune|date=5 May 2026|access-date=25 May 2026}}</ref><br />
<br />
Over 9 million voters were removed through the [[Special Intensive Revision]] (SIR) prior to the elections. This move has been criticized as erosion of democracy in India.<ref name="r877">{{cite web | last1=Ellis-Petersen | first1=Hannah | last2=Hassan | first2=Aakash | title=Millions in India stripped of vote before critical state election, as government seeks to 'purify' electoral roll | website=The Guardian | date=2026-04-22 | url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/22/india-west-bengal-state-elections-millions-stripped-of-vote | access-date=2026-05-09}}</ref> The election recorded a historic voter turnout of about 94%, surpassing even the [[2011 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election|2011 election]], highest ever for a [[Elections in India|General election for the Parliament or State Legislative Assembly in India]].<br />
In these elections, the [[Indian National Congress]] and the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]] returned to the assembly after having no seats since the last election. The [[All India Secular Front]] also retained its lone constituency, while the newly formed [[Aam Janata Unnayan Party]] of Humayun Kabir gained two seats.<br />
<br />
The Election Commission deployed over 350,000 security personnel in this state election, and conducted a largely violence-free election in a state with a history of political violence. There were 85,379 polling booths and about 4.5 lakh polling officers involved in the election. New booths were set up in urban areas in high rises and housing complexes due to allegations of voter intimidation in the previous election.<br />
<br />
Many political analysts reported anti-incumbency against the 15-year rule of the Trinamool Congress, widely known as AITC. Several politicians, including [[West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee|WBPCC]] president Subhankar Sarkar, blamed AITC misrule, filled with corruption, political violence, and especially cases of violence against women, such as the [[2024 Kolkata rape and murder]] at R. G. Medical college, as the main reasons for the defeat of AITC.<br />
<br />
A full repoll was ordered in [[Falta Assembly constituency|Falta]], after complaints of EVM tampering in favour of Trinamool Congress, with polling on 21st May, and results on 24th May.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ইভিএমে বিজেপির প্রতীকের ওপর টেপ! ফলতায় মারাত্মক জালিয়াতির অভিযোগ, কমিশনের দ্বারস্থ পদ্মশিবির |url=https://bengali.indianexpress.com/west-bengal/falta-evm-tampering-allegation-debangshu-panda-diamond-harbour-model-11777384 |access-date=2026-05-01 |website=bengali.indianexpress.com |language=bn}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=9 June 2024 |title=ডায়মন্ড হারবারের কিছু বুথে বিরোধীদের ভোট নামমাত্র! |url=https://www.anandabazar.com/elections/lok-sabha-election-2024/bjp-moves-to-election-commission-demanding-re-poll-in-various-booths-of-diamond-harbour-and-mathurapur-lok-sabha-dgtl/cid/1521153 |work=[[Anandabazar Patrika]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2 May 2026 |editor-last=Tiwari |editor-first=Vaibhav |title="Subversion Of Democratic Process": Bengal's Falta To See Repolling On May 21 |url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/poll-body-announces-repolling-in-all-285-polling-stations-in-west-bengals-falta-cites-subversion-of-democratic-process-11440564 |work=[[NDTV]]}}</ref> The BJP won a landslide victory in Falta repoll elections with a margin exceeding 1 Lakh, the highest in the state.<ref>{{Cite web |date=24 May 2026 |title=Results |url=https://results.eci.gov.in/ResultAcGenMay2026/candidateswise-S25144.htm |website=[[Election Commission of India]]}}</ref><br />

The campaign was shaped by disputes over electoral rolls and citizenship, border security and undocumented migration, and broader debates over identity, governance, women's safety, employment, development, and anti-incumbency after 15 years of AITC rule.<ref name="HinduContinuity">{{cite news |last=Singh |first=Shiv Sahay |date=20 March 2026 |title=West Bengal's two-cornered contest is one between continuity and change |url=https://www.thehindu.com/elections/west-bengal-assembly/west-bengals-two-cornered-contest-is-one-between-continuity-and-change/article70764900.ece |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref><ref name="FederalIssues">{{cite web |date=15 March 2026 |title=SIR, infiltration, women's safety: 10 factors set to dominate Bengal polls |url=https://thefederal.com/elections-2026/10-key-issues-west-bengal-assembly-elections-2026-234359 |website=The Federal |language=en}}</ref><ref name="HinduKeyIssues">{{cite news |date=15 March 2026 |title=West Bengal Assembly election 2026: Bengali 'asmita', Matua factor, urban discontent key issues |url=https://www.thehindu.com/elections/west-bengal-assembly/west-bengal-assembly-election-2026-bengali-asmita-matua-factor-urban-discontent-key-issues/article70746371.ece |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN|issn=}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== SIR and electoral rolls ===<br />
The [[Special Intensive Revision]] (SIR) of electoral rolls became one of the central controversies of the campaign. The SIR removed around 9 million voter entries from the rolls in West Bengal, representing about 12% of the electorate. Over six million were categorized as absentee or deceased, while the status of 2.7 million remained pending before tribunals. [[Dalit]] Hindus, especially from the [[Matua Mahasangha|Matua]] community, were affected in certain districts.<ref>{{Cite web |date= 26 April 2026|title= West Bengal elections:PM Modi pledges citizenship for Matua Namasudras under CAA |url= https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/west-Bengal-elections-pm-modi-pledges-citizenship-for-matua-namasudras-under-caa/articleshow/130529950.cms|website= The Times of India}}</ref> The move was criticised as "bloodless political genocide" and erosion of democracy in India.<ref name="r877"/><ref name="g244">{{cite web | last=Sobhan | first=Zafar | title=View from Bangladesh: The hardening of Hindutva in West Bengal will stifle pro-India voices | website=Scroll.in | date=2026-05-08 | url=https://scroll.in/article/1092689/view-from-bangladesh-the-hardening-of-hindutva-in-west-bengal-will-stifle-pro-india-voices | access-date=2026-05-10}}</ref><ref name="z523">{{cite web | last=Rehbar | first=Quratulain | title=India drops 9m voters, or 10% of total, weeks before West Bengal poll | website=Nikkei Asia | date=2026-04-28 | url=https://asia.nikkei.com/politics/india-drops-9m-voters-or-10-of-total-weeks-before-west-bengal-poll | access-date=2026-05-10}}</ref><br />
<br />
In February 2026, the Supreme court told the Calcutta high court to appoint judicial officers for helping west Bengal in carrying out the SIR exercise.<ref>{{cite web |date=20 February 2026 |title= 'No option left': Top court's "Extraordinary" Order In Bengal SIR Case |url= https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/unfortunate-blame-game-supreme-court-tells-high-court-to-appoint-judicial-officers-for-sir-process-11112091 |website= NDTV}}</ref> It was decided to engage 150 judges from district session courts in the exercise.<ref>{{cite web |date= 21 February 2026 |title= West Bengal To Engage 150 judges For SIR Process Following Supreme Court Directive |url= https://newsonair.gov.in/west-bengal-to-engage-150-judges-for-sir-process-following-supreme-court-directive/ |website= All India Radio}}</ref><br />
<br />
The deletion of names from the rolls and the subsequent adjudication process became major political issues during the election period.<ref name="IESIR">{{cite news |date=30 March 2026 |title=Amid steep travel costs, SIR fears, Bengal migrants try to return home for a vote that feels vital |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/political-pulse/amid-steep-travel-costs-sir-fears-bengal-migrants-try-to-return-home-for-a-vote-that-feels-vital-10608576/ |work=The Indian Express}}</ref><ref name="HinduSIR">{{cite news |date=31 March 2026 |title=Election Commission actions under SIR risk disenfranchisement of genuine voters in Bengal: Mamata to CEC |url=https://www.thehindu.com/elections/west-bengal-assembly/election-commission-actions-under-sir-risk-disenfranchisement-of-genuine-voters-in-bengal-mamata-to-cec/article70807014.ece |work=The Hindu}}</ref> The AITC said that the exercise risked disenfranchising genuine voters, while the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) defended it as a revision of bogus entries and illegal migrants.

<br />
=== Citizenship Amendment Act ===<br />
<br />
The [[Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019|Citizenship Amendment Act]] (CAA) remained a separate campaign issue, particularly in areas where refugee and Matua politics were significant. The Union government published details of the act's implementation in the [[Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019#Citizenship (Amendment) Act Rules, 2024|Citizenship (Amendment) Rules, 2024]], in March 2024, and BJP leaders said that a BJP government in West Bengal would speed up citizenship processing under the Act.<ref name="CAAOfficial">{{cite web |date=11 March 2024 |title=The Gazette of India: Citizenship (Amendment) Rules, 2024 |url=https://indiancitizenshiponline.nic.in/UserGuide/E_gazette_11032024.pdf |work=The Gazette of India |publisher=Government of India}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=3 March 2026 |title=Post-SIR, Centre forms two more panels to fast-track CAA applications in West Bengal |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/west-bengal/post-sir-centre-forms-two-more-panels-to-fast-track-caa-applications-in-west-bengal/article70696163.ece |work=The Hindu|last=Singh|first=Vijaita}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=12 April 2026 |title=PM Modi vows to fast-track CAA implementation in West Bengal if BJP comes to power |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/pm-modi-vows-to-fast-track-caa-implementation-in-west-bengal-if-bjp-comes-to-power-101775955590381.html |work=Hindustan Times}}</ref> The AITC argued that the issue was being used to polarise the electorate and that the overlap between CAA, SIR and citizenship rhetoric had increased anxiety among minorities and some migrant communities.<ref>{{cite news |title=In battleground Bengal, how TMC bets on SIR deletions, voter backlash to corner BJP |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/political-pulse/in-battleground-bengal-how-tmc-bets-on-sir-deletions-voter-backlash-to-corner-bjp-10637925/ |work=The Indian Express}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=25 March 2026 |title=Polarisation still an issue in 2026 Bengal polls, but TMC slightly better placed than BJP |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/political-pulse/bengal-assembly-2026-tmc-bjp-polarisation-minority-vote-share-data-analysis-10600577/ |work=The Indian Express}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Border security and migration ===<br />
Border security and undocumented migration were also major issues in the campaign. BJP leaders framed cross-border movement, border fencing and the [[Siliguri Corridor]] as matters of national security and linked them to their wider argument on infiltration.<ref>{{cite news |date=29 March 2026 |title='Bengal last remaining route for infiltration': Amit Shah says Assembly polls crucial for national security |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/bengal-last-remaining-route-for-infiltration-amit-shah-says-assembly-polls-crucial-for-national-security-10607005/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Bose|first=Tanusree}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=18 January 2026 |title=Infiltration changing West Bengal's demography: PM |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/west-bengal/infiltration-changing-west-bengals-demography-pm/article70519322.ece |work=The Hindu|last=Singh|first=Shiv Sahay}}</ref> The AITC rejected these claims as politically motivated and linked them to communal polarisation.<ref name="FederalIssues" /><ref>{{cite news |date=28 March 2026 |title=Amit Shah releases 'charge sheet' against TMC government, says Bengal polls key to nation's security |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/elections/2026/Mar/28/amit-shah-releases-charge-sheet-against-tmc-government-says-bengal-polls-key-to-nations-security |work=The New Indian Express|last=Maiti|first=Subhendu}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Identity politics ===<br />
Identity politics remained significant in the campaign. Bengali ''asmita'' (identity), the Matua vote, and questions of language, belonging and representation were prominent themes in several regions of the state.<ref name="HinduKeyIssues" /><ref name="FederalIssues" /> The AITC sought to present itself as the defender of Bengali identity and state autonomy, while the BJP tied identity questions to citizenship, migration and Hindu consolidation in selected constituencies.<ref name="HinduKeyIssues" /><ref>{{cite news |date=25 March 2026 |title=Polarisation still an issue in 2026 Bengal polls, but TMC slightly better placed than BJP |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/political-pulse/bengal-assembly-2026-tmc-bjp-polarisation-minority-vote-share-data-analysis-10600577/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Tiwary|first=Deeptiman}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Corruption ===<br />
Corruption and governance remained important opposition themes, especially because of the [[2022 West Bengal School Service Commission recruitment scam|school recruitment scam]] and other ongoing investigations by central agencies. These allegations formed a major opposition line of attack on the AITC government's record in administration, public recruitment and institutional credibility.<ref>{{cite web |date=15 April 2022 |title=Explained: What is the West Bengal School Service Commission recruitment scam? |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/explained-west-bengal-school-service-commission-recruitment-scam-7869437/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Chowdhury|first=Santanu}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=27 March 2026 |title='Chargesheet' first, manifesto next: Amit Shah to release document listing failures of TMC government |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/chargesheet-first-manifesto-next-amit-shah-to-release-document-listing-failures-of-tmc-government-10604448/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Bose|first=Tanusree}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=17 March 2026 |title=TMC under pressure as welfare politics meets voter frustration in Bengal |url=https://thefederal.com/elections-2026/tmc-under-pressure-as-welfare-politics-meets-voter-frustration-in-bengal-232281 |website=The Federal |language=en}}</ref> The AITC, by contrast, emphasised welfare delivery, continuity and its development record.<ref name=":0">{{cite news |date=20 March 2026 |title=Mamata woos voters with 10 commitments, says Bengal will be destination for industry |url=https://www.thehindu.com/elections/west-bengal-assembly/mamata-woos-voters-with-10-commitments-says-bengal-will-be-destination-for-industry/article70765593.ece |work=The Hindu|last=Chatterjee|first=Shrabana|last2=Singh|first2=Shiv Sahay}}</ref><ref name="HinduContinuity" /><br />
<br />
=== Women's safety ===<br />
Women's safety was a recurring issue in the campaign, especially after the [[2024 Kolkata rape and murder|2024 R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital rape and murder]] case, which drew national attention and remained part of the wider law and order debate.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Roy |first1=Suryagni |last2=Roy |first2=Anirban Sinha |date=15 August 2024 |title=Woman trainee doctor found dead in seminar hall of Kolkata hospital |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/cities/kolkata/story/west-bengal-trainee-doctor-dead-rg-kar-medical-college-hospital-2579796-2024-08-09 |website=India Today}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=16 August 2024 |title=Kolkata doctor rape-murder case: All you need to know |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/west-bengal/kolkata-doctor-rape-murder-case-all-you-need-to-know-3148176#6 |website=Deccan Herald}}</ref><ref name="FederalIssues" /> The AITC cited [[National Crime Records Bureau|NCRB]] data showing Kolkata's comparatively low reported crime rate among large cities, while the BJP argued that such data did not capture under-reporting or failures to register cases.<ref>{{cite report |url=https://www.ncrb.gov.in/uploads/files/1CrimeinIndia2023PartI.pdf |title=Crime in India 2023 - Statistics - Volume I |date=26 September 2025 |publisher=National Crime Records Bureau |location= |place=New Delhi |pages=211–266 |docket= |access-date= |format=PDF |work=}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=5 October 2025 |title=Kolkata again tops NCRB 2023 safety list: TMC lauds data, BJP raises questions over its accuracy |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/kolkata-again-tops-ncrb-2023-safety-list-tmc-lauds-data-bjp-raises-questions-over-its-accuracy-10288288/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Bose|first=Tanusree}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Economy and employment ===<br />
<br />
Employment, industrial development and public recruitment were also prominent issues, particularly among younger and urban voters. Concerns about job creation, delayed recruitment examinations, the effects of the recruitment scandal, and competing claims over investment and industrial growth featured prominently in the campaign.<ref>{{cite web |date=18 September 2024 |title=West Bengal economy performs poorly over several decades: EAC-PM paper |url=https://www.thehindu.com/business/Economy/west-bengal-economy-performs-poorly-over-several-decades-eac-pm-paper/article68654721.ece |work=The Hindu}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=6 October 2023 |title=WBCS Prelims postponed, fresh schedule expected soon |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/education/news/wbcs-prelims-postponed-fresh-schedule-expected-soon-check-more-details-here/articleshow/104210072.cms |work=The Times of India}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{cite web |date=17 March 2026 |title=TMC under pressure as welfare politics meets voter frustration in Bengal |url=https://thefederal.com/elections-2026/tmc-under-pressure-as-welfare-politics-meets-voter-frustration-in-bengal-234705 |website=The Federal |language=en|last=Purkayastha|first=Samir K}}</ref> The BJP foregrounded jobs and industrial revival in its criticism of the state government, while the AITC campaigned on welfare schemes and promised continued investment and infrastructure expansion.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{cite web |date=10 April 2026 |title=Rs 3,000 monthly assistance for women; new AIIMS, IIT for North Bengal: Amit Shah releases BJP Sankalpa Patra for Bengal polls |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/rs-3000-monthly-assistance-for-women-new-aiims-iit-for-north-bengal-amit-shah-releases-bjp-sankalpa-patra-for-bengal-polls-10629715/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Bose|first=Tanusree}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Anti-incumbency ===<br />
Anti-incumbency after 15 years of AITC rule was also noted as a factor in the contest, although it overlapped with disputes over SIR, identity and citizenship.<ref name="HinduContinuity" /><ref name="HinduKeyIssues" /><ref name=":1" /> Dissatisfaction over jobs, corruption, governance and law and order was often discussed alongside these issues rather than separately.<ref name="FederalIssues" /><ref name="IESIR" /><br />

<br />
The [[Election Commission of India]] announced the schedule for the West Bengal Legislative Assembly election on 15 March 2026.<ref>{{Cite web |date=15 March 2026 |title=West Bengal assembly elections on April 23 and April 29, results on May 4 |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/west-bengal-assembly-election-voting-date-nominations-results-date-time-phases-full-schedule-101773569374988.html |access-date=15 March 2026 |website=Hindustan Times |language=en|last=Chatterjee|first=Tanmay}}</ref><br />

* The conduction of SIR in the state before the election, removed about 60 lakh ASDD (Absent, Shifted, Dead and Duplicate) voter entries leading to reduced total voters and a high turnout.<br />
* Due to high deletion in the voter list, voters have felt importance to cast vote and use their democratic rights. Some, especially Muslims and Bangladeshi refugees, feared if they don't, it may create problems in their future voting rights, further leading to cancellation of other government facilities or even citizenship.<br />
* Media reported high numbers of migrant labours coming from other states for the election. Upon one viral video from Gujarat, TMC accused BJP of breaching Election code by arranging train tickets and foods to migrant voters of Bengal working in other states, who were returning to the state in order to vote.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ghosh |first=Shubhojyoti |date=2026-04-22 |title=পশ্চিমবঙ্গে ভোট: পরিযায়ী শ্রমিকদের ঘরে ফেরার ঢল নিয়ে বিজেপির বিরুদ্ধে অভিযোগ তৃণমূল কংগ্রেসের |url=https://www.bbc.com/bengali/articles/cq8wjl1lnvno |access-date=2026-05-02 |website=BBC News বাংলা |language=bn}}</ref><br />
* Possibilities of potential anti-incumbency like the previous 2011 election and a general trend all over the world during ruling party change in elections. This turned out to be true after the results.<br />
* In urban centres, mainly Kolkata metropolis, the usual low turnout trend changed. One of the main reason of this change was setting up of new booths in high rises and housing complexes.

[[West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee|Bengal Congress]] president [[Subhankar Sarkar]] called the 15 years of Trinamool Congress rule as "filled with endless corruption, political violence, violence against women which include heinous crimes like the R. G. Kar case and the attempt to hide the involved criminals, underdevelopment, unemployment, etc. created agitation among the public that got reflected in the election results with the defeat of TMC and a first-time-win for the BJP".

The people of Bengal wanted to oust Mamata and were able to breathe a sigh of relief as she lost. You yourself are a thief, looting in every local elections".

=== Alliance(s) ===<br />
Following the heavy defeats in the 2011 Assembly elections and the 2014 Indian General Election, the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]] welcomed ideas of the alliance even with parties not conforming to the communist ideology in general. The first signs came in the [[Siliguri Municipal Corporation]] election in 2015, when the [[CPI(M)]] made some local understanding with [[Indian National Congress|Congress]] to keep TMC and BJP out of power; resulting in CPI(M) leader [[Ashok Bhattacharya]] being appointed as the [[Mayor]] of Siliguri. This success then got popularity as 'Siliguri Model'.<br />
<br />
After the success of the model, in the long run, some Congress and CPI(M) leaders advocated for a Left-Congress alliance.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://infoelections.com/infoelection/index.php/kolkata/6939-left-congress-alliance-in-west-bengal-elections-2016.html|title=Left-Congress alliance in West Bengal Elections 2016, hinted Left leaders|work=infoelections}}</ref> on the grounds that on summing up individual voteshare of the Congress & Left Front in state polled during the 2014 general elections, were large enough in many areas to defeat the Trinamool Congress. The precedence of the [[UPA-Left Coordination Committee|Left Front providing outside support to the UPA-I government in 2004-2008]] was cited in support. This gradually materialized into an "alliance" between INC and [[Left Front (West Bengal)|Left Front]] in all the seats except a few in [[Murshidabad district]] and [[Maldah district]].<br />
<br />
Given the political history of West Bengal, the materialisation of an alliance between the Congress & the CPI(M), 2 parties that have been bitter rivals of each other in the state since India's independence in 1947 & have a history of unleashing political violence against each other's cadres, (like [[Sainbari murder|1970 Sainbari murders]], during the [[Emergency (India)|Emergency era]] & the [[1993 Kolkata firing]]) took the political circles of the state by surprise. After much dispute and secession of 2 far-left groups : [[SUCI(C)]] and [[Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) Liberation|CPI(ML)L]] from the [[Left Front (West Bengal)|Left Front]], both Congress and Communists formed an understanding basis of what they called "seat-sharing", strongly objecting to the use of the word-"alliance". Trinamool Congress claimed that by forging an electoral understanding with the Left Front in the state, the Congress party was insulting the memory of those party workers who had died in political violence perpetrated by the Left Front, & Mamata Banerjee's allegation in 1998 about the state Congress having become a 'B-team' of the Left Front (due to which she broke away from the Congress to create her own party), stood vindicated. The CPI(M) (which had famously refused the Congress' proposal of making veteran Communist leader and one of its founders [[Jyoti Basu]] the country's prime minister in 1990, 1991 & 1996 in order not to been seen deviating from the cause of establishing the ''[[dictatorship of the proletariat]]'') was similarly accused of compromising with its ideological stance & indulging in hypocrisy by the TMC & BJP for entering into seat-sharing agreement with the Congress.<br />
<br />
The ruling [[All India Trinamool Congress]] announced its candidate list for all the 294 seats, as they were fighting alone this time. But after the announcement, the candidate from [[Kalimpong Assembly constituency|Kalimpong]] and former [[Gorkha Janmukti Morcha]] leader, Harka Bahadur Chettri, stated that he will fight as an Independent candidate under the entity of his newly formed political party, [[Jana Andolan Party]], and will be supported by the Trinamool Congress.<br />
<br />
The [[Bharatiya Janata Party|BJP]] announced its candidate list for 291 seats in several phases, leaving 3 seats of the Darjeeling Hills for their allies, the [[Gorkha Janmukti Morcha]].<br />

Since the [[by-election]]s held for the [[Kanthi Dakshin Assembly constituency|Kanthi South seat]] in 2017, it became evident that the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) had overtaken the [[Left Front (West Bengal)|Left Front]] as the primary opposition party in the state.<ref name="Romita Datta"/> According to various [[Political science|political analysts]], the shifting of the Left Front and other opposition voters towards the BJP caused the party's vote share to significantly increase.<ref>{{cite web|last=MN|first=Parth|date=31 March 2021|title=Why ex-communists are joining Modi's BJP in India's West Bengal|url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/3/31/why-ex-communists-are-joining-modis-bjp-in-indias-west-bengal|access-date=2 April 2021|publisher=Al Jazeera|archive-date=1 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210401111034/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/3/31/why-ex-communists-are-joining-modis-bjp-in-indias-west-bengal|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Sahay|first=Mohan|date=10 March 2021|title=View: Left helping BJP by default in West Bengal|work=The Economic Times|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/elections/assembly-elections/west-bengal/view-left-helping-bjp-by-default-in-west-bengal/articleshow/81432277.cms|access-date=2 April 2021|archive-date=11 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210411085103/https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/elections/assembly-elections/west-bengal/view-left-helping-bjp-by-default-in-west-bengal/articleshow/81432277.cms|url-status=live}}</ref> In spite of widespread violence, the BJP emerged as the second largest party in the [[2018 West Bengal local elections|2018 elections]] to the state [[Panchayati raj|panchayats]] mainly due to the shifting of the Left Front's voter base. The long-held stereotype of [[Bengali Hindus]] being averse to right-wing politics was shattered when the BJP won the [[2018 Tripura Legislative Assembly election|2018 assembly elections in Tripura]], another Indian state with a Bengali Hindu majority, ruled till then by [[Left Front (Tripura)|CPI(M)-led alliance of Communist parties]] since 1993.<br />

For the first time since the creation of the [[West Bengal|state]] through [[Partition of Bengal (1947)|division of Bengal Presidency]], the [[West Bengal Legislative Assembly|state legislative assembly]] does not have any members from the INC or Left Front, who dominated and shaped the [[Politics of West Bengal|politics of the state]] until 1998 when the TMC was founded and overtook the INC as the main opposition party in the state.<br />
<br />
Opinion polls and exit polls predicted a tight race between the TMC and BJP, and that TMC would win around 150 seats, BJP 140, with the remaining for Morcha.

=== Violence ===<br />
{{main|2021 Bengal post-poll violence}}<br />
Politically motivated violence in [[West Bengal]] took place since before the 2021 West Bengal elections.<br />
<br />
In June 2019, 2 [[Trinamool Congress]] (TMC) workers were killed in Bengal. The party had blamed [[Bhartiya Janta Party]] (BJP) for it.<br />
<br />
Indian Home Minister and BJP member [[Amit Shah]] said that more than 300 BJP members were killed due to the political violence as of December 2020 and that "investigation in those cases hasn't moved an inch".<br />
<br />
After results were announced, [[post-poll violence]] broke out in some areas of the state. In reality it was continuation of the violence which took place across the state during the election.<ref>{{cite web |date=2 April 2021|title=A look back at the history of Bengal's political violence|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/elections/west-bengal-assembly-election/a-look-back-at-the-history-of-bengal-s-political-violence-101617365703925.html|work=Hindustan Times|access-date=7 October 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|date=10 May 2021|title=The Hypermasculine Post-Poll Violence That Took Over West Bengal After Elections|url=https://feminisminindia.com/2021/05/10/post-poll-violence-west-bengal-elections/|work=Feminism in India|access-date=9 January 2022}}</ref><br />
<br />
On 2 May, the results had just started showing signs of Trinamool returning to power when the men arrived, going house to house, ransacking them, breaking some. By the end of the day, 40 families of a colony located on KPC Medical College grounds in Jadavpur had fled. All BJP supporters or workers say TMC threats had kept them away for two-and-a-half months .<ref>{{Cite web |date=20 July 2021 |title=Post-election violence: House to house, eight times in two months, 40 families say on the run |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/west-bengal-post-election-violence-house-to-house-eight-times-in-two-months-40-families-say-on-the-run-7411038/ |access-date=29 June 2022 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref><br />

<br />
== Background ==<br />
=== Electoral system and political shifts ===<br />
The West Bengal Legislative Assembly functions as a [[Unicameralism|unicameral]] body under Article 168 of the [[Constitution of India]]. Members are directly elected for a five-year term unless the assembly is dissolved earlier.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Article 168 in The Constitution Of India 1949|url=https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1555093/|access-date=13 October 2020|website=Indiankanoon.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Terms of the Houses|url=https://eci.gov.in/elections/term-of-houses/|access-date=2021-03-05|website=Election Commission of India}}</ref><br />
The political landscape of West Bengal underwent a sea change leading up to 2021. In the [[2019 Indian general election in West Bengal|2019 general elections]], the BJP made significant inroads, securing 18 of the state's 42 [[Lok Sabha]] seats and capturing 40 percent of the vote share. This surge was bolstered by a steady stream of defections from the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC), as well as the Congress and Left parties.<ref>{{cite news|title=Election results 2019 West Bengal: TMC wins 22 seats, faces stiff battle from BJP|newspaper=India Today|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/elections/lok-sabha-2019/story/west-bengal-wb-lok-sabha-election-result-2019-live-1532372-2019-05-23}}</ref><ref name="Romita Datta">Romita Datta, [https://www.indiatoday.in/india-today-insight/story/why-no-one-will-douse-the-caa-fire-in-bengal-1635533-2020-01-10 Why no one will douse the CAA fire in Bengal], India Today, 10 January 2020.</ref><br />
Political analysts attributed the BJP's meteoric rise to a massive consolidation of opposition votes. Specifically, the Left Front's traditional support base drifted decisively toward the BJP, driven by a strategic intent to challenge the TMC.{{efn|<ref>{{Cite web|last=MN|first=Parth|date=31 March 2021|title=Why ex-communists are joining Modi's BJP in India's West Bengal|url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/3/31/why-ex-communists-are-joining-modis-bjp-in-indias-west-bengal|access-date=2021-04-02|website=Al Jazeera}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Kumar|first=Sajjan|date=5 February 2021|title=How BJP turned West Bengal's Left support base in their favour|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/opinions/2021/feb/05/how-bjp-turned-west-bengals-left-support-base-in-their-favour-2259777.html|access-date=2021-04-02|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Sahay|first=Mohan|date=10 March 2021|title=View: Left helping BJP by default in West Bengal|work=The Economic Times|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/elections/assembly-elections/west-bengal/view-left-helping-bjp-by-default-in-west-bengal/articleshow/81432277.cms?from=mdr|access-date=2021-04-02}}</ref> This realignment was often summarized by locals with the sentiment, "This time [[Rama]] (referring to the BJP's 'Jay Shree Ram' slogan), next time Left."<ref>{{Cite web|title=Bengal election में TMC-BJP के आगे Left factor की कलई खुद Congress की बयानबाजी ने खोल कर रख दी!| date=11 April 2021 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTn0WR3w0kY|via=YouTube}}</ref>}} Even Mamata Banerjee acknowledged this shift, remarking that "CPM's harmads are all in BJP now," while Suvendu Adhikari confirmed on polling day that the region's old Leftists were rallying behind him.<ref>{{Cite web|title=What does harmad mean?

==Election campaign==<br />
The campaign for Nandigram was a high-stakes battle characterized by intense political maneuvering and volatile rhetoric. On 18 January, Mamata Banerjee announced her decision to contest the seat, a challenge immediately accepted by her former aide turned rival, [[Suvendu Adhikari]], who vowed to quit politics if he did not defeat the Chief Minister by at least 50,000 votes.{{efn|<ref>{{Cite web|date=18 January 2021|title=Bengal polls: Mamata says will fight from Suvendu turf Nandigram; 'will defeat her or quit politics', he hits back|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/mamata-banerjee-west-bengal-polls-nandigram-7151222/}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=প্রার্থী মমতা, উজ্জীবিত তৃণমূল|url=https://www.anandabazar.com/west-bengal/midnapore/tmc-workers-of-tamluk-enthusiastic-as-mamata-banerjee-herself-becomes-tmc-candidate/cid/1262248|website=Anandabazar|language=bn}}</ref>}} Adhikari's campaign heavily emphasized demographic distinctiveness, a strategy media outlets described as an attempt to consolidate the Hindu vote.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Suvendu attempts polarisation in Nandigram, plays numbers card|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/suvendu-attempts-polarisation-in-nandigram-plays-numbers-card/articleshow/80355772.cms|website=The Times of India|date=20 January 2021 }}</ref><br />

The '''Chief Minister of West Bengal''' ([[ISO 15919|ISO]]: {{transliteration|ba|ISO|Paścimavaṅgera Mukhyamantrī}}) is the ''[[de facto]]'' head of the executive branch of the [[Government of West Bengal]], the subnational authority of the Indian state of [[West Bengal]]. The chief minister is the head of the Council of Ministers and advises the governor on the appointment of ministers. Along with the council of ministers, the chief minister exercises executive authority in the state. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose [[Cabinet (government)|council of ministers]] are [[Cabinet collective responsibility|collectively responsible]] to the [[West Bengal Legislative Assembly]]. The chief minister also serves as the Leader of the House in the Legislative Assembly.<ref>{{cite web |title=Leader of the House – Legislative Assembly |url=https://apuat21.cgg.gov.in/web/legislative-assembly/leader-of-the-house}}</ref><br />
<br />
On 17 August 1947, the former [[British Raj|British Indian]] province of [[Bengal Presidency|Bengal]] was [[Partition of Bengal (1947)|partitioned]] into the Pakistani province of [[East Bengal]] and the Indian state of [[West Bengal]]. Since then, West Bengal has had eight chief ministers. [[Prafulla Chandra Ghosh]] of the [[Indian National Congress]] (INC) became the state's first head of government as ''premier'' before the office of chief minister formally came into effect.<ref>[http://members.tripod.com/~tanmoy/bengal/modern.html Modern Bengal] ''A Short History of Bengal''. Retrieved 18 April 2009.</ref> Following the adoption of the [[Constitution of India]] on 26 January 1950, [[Bidhan Chandra Roy|Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy]] became the first chief minister of West Bengal. A period of political instability followed between 1967 and 1972, during which the state witnessed three assembly elections, four coalition governments and three periods of [[President's rule]].<ref name=assembly>[http://wbassembly.gov.in/origin_growth.aspx Origin and Growth of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly].

<br />
The victory of the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]]-led [[Left Front (West Bengal)|Left Front]] in the [[1977 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election|1977 assembly election]] marked the beginning of 34 years of Left Front rule in West Bengal. [[Jyoti Basu]] served continuously as chief minister for over 23 years, the longest uninterrupted tenure by any chief minister in India at the time. His record was surpassed in 2018 by [[Pawan Kumar Chamling]] of Sikkim.<ref>"[https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/pawan-kumar-chamling-becomes-longest-serving-chief-minister-surpassing-jyoti-basus-record/article23720589.ece Pawan Kumar Chamling crosses Jyoti Basu's record as longest-serving Chief Minister]".

<br />
In the [[2011 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election|2011 assembly election]], the [[All India Trinamool Congress|Trinamool Congress]] defeated the Left Front, ending its 34-year{{efn|33 years 333 days}} rule in the state, one of the longest-serving democratically elected communist governments in the world. The party's leader, [[Mamata Banerjee]], was sworn in on 20 May 2011 as the first woman chief minister of West Bengal. She was subsequently re-elected in the [[2016 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election|2016]] and [[2021 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election|2021]] assembly elections.<br />
<br />
In the [[2026 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election|2026 assembly election]], the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] secured a majority in the legislative assembly, ending the Trinamool Congress's 15-year{{efn|14 years 352 days}} tenure in government. The new chief minister, [[Suvendu Adhikari]] is to take oath on 9 May 2026.<ref>{{cite news |title=New West Bengal CM to take oath on May 9, says state BJP chief Samik Bhattacharya |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/new-west-bengal-cm-to-take-oath-on-may-9-says-state-bjp-chief-samik-bhattacharya/articleshow/130817997.cms |work=The Times of India |date=6 May 2026 |access-date=6 May 2026}}</ref><br />

In the [[India|Republic of India]], a [[Governor (India)|lieutenant governor]] is the constitutional head of five of the [[Union territory|eight union territories]]. They rank 11th in the [[order of precedence in India]]. The lieutenant governor is appointed by the [[President of India]] for a term of five years, and holds office at the President's pleasure. Since the union territories of [[Delhi]], [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]] and [[Puducherry (union territory)|Puducherry]] have a measure of self-government with an elected [[legislature]] and [[Cabinet (government)|council of ministers]], the role of the lieutenant governor there is mostly a ceremonial one, akin to that of a [[States and union territories of India|state's]] [[Governor (India)|governor]]. In [[Andaman and Nicobar Islands]] and [[Ladakh]] however, the lieutenant governor holds more power, being both the head of state and head of government<br />

=== Bangladesh ===<br />
Suvendu Adhikari has frequently made statements concerning [[Violence against Hindus in Bangladesh, 2024|violence against Hindus in Bangladesh]] and [[Bangladesh–India relations|India Bangladesh relations]]. In December 2025, he warned that he would disrupt the functioning of Bangladesh's Deputy High Commission in Kolkata over the [[Lynching of Dipu Chandra Das|lynching of Dipu Das in Bangladesh]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=23 December 2025 |title='Won't allow them to function': Suvendu Adhikari's warning Bangladesh mission in Kolkata amid tensions with India |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/wont-allow-them-to-function-bjp-suvendu-adhikari-warns-bangladesh-mission-in-kolkata-over-envoy-meet-101766500195639.html |access-date=8 May 2026 |website=Hindustan Times}}</ref> During a later protest, he said that if the violence against Hindus did not stop, India's Hindus would be "teaching a lesson" to Bangladesh as [[Gaza genocide|Israel had done to Gaza]] and [[Operation Sindhoor|India had done to Pakistan]]. This drew sharp criticism from the Trinamool Congress, which called the speech a "bloodthirsty call for mass murder and ethnic cleansing".<ref>{{Cite news |title=BJP's Suvendu Adhikari Draws Flak After Calling For Gaza-Like 'Lesson' at Protest Against Dipu Das's Murder |url=https://thewire.in/communalism/bjp-suvendu-adhikari-bangladesh-dipu-das-lynching-lesson-like-gaza |access-date=8 May 2026 |work=The Wire}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Singh |first=Shiv Sahay |date=27 December 2025 |title=TMC accuses Suvendu Adhikari of 'naked hate speech' in his remarks against Bangladesh |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/west-bengal/tmc-accuses-suvendu-adhikari-of-naked-hate-speech-in-his-remarks-against-bangladesh/article70443618.ece |access-date=8 May 2026 |work=The Hindu}}</ref><br />

==== Chit fund scandal ====<br />
Adhikari has spoken extensively about West Bengal's [[chit fund]] scandals, alleging the involvement of the Trinamool Congress leadership and the state administration. In July 2023, he publicly offered to supply the [[Central Bureau of Investigation]] (CBI) with evidence concerning Chief Minister [[Mamata Banerjee]]'s alleged involvement in the [[Saradha Group financial scandal]], while accusing the agency of hesitancy in interrogating high-ranking officials.<ref>{{cite web | title=Will give proof of Mamata's involvement to CBI: Suvendu | website=The Indian Express | date=18 July 2023 | url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/saradha-chit-fund-case-will-give-proof-of-mamatas-involvement-to-cbi-suvendu-8845067/ | access-date=3 November 2025}}</ref> Earlier, in March 2023, he wrote to Prime Minister [[Narendra Modi]], questioning the CBI's reluctance to take action against high-placed individuals accused in the decade-old Sarada case, and called for decisive steps to dismantle state-level protection rackets.<ref>{{cite web | title=Why is CBI hesitant?: Suvendu Adhikari writes to PM, seeks action against Mamata in Saradha case | website=Telegraph India | date=6 March 2023 | url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/west-bengal/why-is-cbi-hesitant-suvendu-adhikari-writes-to-prime-minister-narendra-modi-seeks-action-against-mamata-banerjee-in-saradha-case/cid/1920764 | access-date=3 November 2025}}</ref> In a separate letter to the CBI Director that same month, he highlighted delays in the investigation of multiple chit fund operations, alleging that [[Kunal Ghosh]], a TMC politician, had influenced the probe even from custody.<ref>{{cite web | title=LOP Suvendu Adhikari writes to CBI Director over slow investigation in Saradha Scam | website=ANI News | date=20 July 2023 | url=https://www.aninews.in/news/national/general-news/lop-suvendu-adhikari-writes-to-cbi-director-over-slow-investigation-in-saradha-scam20230720230851/ | access-date=3 November 2025}}</ref><br />

==== Sandeshkhali raid ====<br />
After the [[Sandeshkhali violence|April 2024 Sandeshkhali raid]] by the CBI, Adhikari claimed that uncovered weaponry linked the TMC to the assault on [[Enforcement Directorate]] staff. He demanded that Mamata Banerjee be arrested and that the TMC be declared a terrorist organisation.<ref>{{cite web | last=Gupta | first=Shobhit | title='Arrest Mamata, declare TMC a terror outfit', demands BJP leader after CBI searches at premises of Sandeshkhali accused | website=Hindustan Times | date=27 April 2024 | url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/arrest-mamata-declare-tmc-a-terror-outfit-demands-bjp-leader-after-cbi-searches-at-premises-of-sandeshkhali-accused-101714186870180.html | access-date=3 November 2025}}</ref><br />

=== Post-poll violence ===<br />
Following the declaration of the West Bengal Assembly election results on 2 May 2021, Adhikari compiled documentation of the [[2021 West Bengal post-poll violence|post-election violence]], including videos and affidavits detailing attacks on BJP workers that began on 3 May. In May 2021, he filed a writ petition in the [[Calcutta High Court]], annexing evidence of targeted attacks, property destruction, and displacement across various districts, which led to judicial monitoring and orders for registering FIRs.<ref>{{cite web |first= |title=Writ Petition (Supreme Court of India) |url=https://lawtrend.in/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/ICT-Bengal-Violence-Writ-Petition-with-Annexures_compressed.pdf |access-date=3 November 2025}}</ref> As a result of these efforts, in July 2021, amid the government's denial of retaliatory violence against opposition supporters, the High Court issued a mandatory directive compelling the state to register cases for all reported incidents and to cooperate with the [[National Human Rights Commission of India|National Human Rights Commission's]] investigation.<ref>{{cite web | title=Bengal post-poll violence: Calcutta HC orders filing of cases and relief for victims | website=The Indian Express | date=3 July 2021 | url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/post-poll-violence-calcutta-hc-bengal-govt-cases-medical-care-7385762/ | access-date=3 November 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | last=Roy | first=Divyanshu Dutta | title=Bengal In "Denial Mode" Over Post-Election Violence: Calcutta High Court | website=www.ndtv.com | date=2 July 2021 | url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/bengal-government-in-denial-mode-over-post-election-violence-says-calcutta-high-court-2477773 | access-date=3 November 2025}}</ref><br />

In India, a '''governor''' is the constitutional [[head of state]] in each of the [[Indian states]] and has powers and functions at the state level similar to those of the [[President of India]] at the central level. A governor acts as the constitutional head and takes all their decisions based on the advice of [[Chief minister (India)|chief minister]] and their council of ministers. The rank of each governor in India is 4th in the [[Order of precedence]] of India.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=May 2022 |title=Constitution of India - Art. 163 |url=https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf#page=103 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230606211619/https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf |archive-date=6 June 2023 |access-date=14 June 2023 |website=Legislative Dept., Govt. of India |page=72}}</ref><br />

<br />
== Powers and functions ==<br />
<br />
The primary function of the governor is to preserve, protect and defend the constitution and the law as incorporated in their oath of office under [[s:Constitution of the India/Part VI|Article 159]] of the Indian constitution in the administration of the state affairs.<ref>{{Cite web |date=May 2022 |title=Constitution of India - Art. 159 |url=https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf#page=102 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230606211619/https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf |archive-date=6 June 2023 |access-date=14 June 2023 |website=Legislative Dept., Govt. of India |page=71}}</ref> All the governor's actions, [[Three Judges Cases|recommendations]] and supervisory powers (Article 167c, Article 200, Article 213, Article 355, etc.) over the executive and legislative entities of a state shall be used to implement the provisions of the Constitution.<br />
<br />
Unlike the President of India, the governor has no military or diplomatic powers. However, they possess legislative, executive and judicial powers that are similar to the powers of the President.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Basu |first=Durga Das |title=Introduction to the Constitution of India |publisher=[[LexisNexis]] |year=2015 |isbn=978-93-5143-446-7 |edition=22nd |location=Gurgaon, Haryana, India |pages=258 |language=English}}</ref><br />
<br />
A governor has different types of powers:<br />
#'''Executive powers''' related to administration, appointments and removals,<br />
#'''Legislative powers''' related to lawmaking and the [[State Legislature (India)|state legislature]], that is [[State Legislative Assembly (India)|State Legislative Assembly]] (Vidhan Sabha/Saasana Sabha) or [[State Legislative Council (India)|State Legislative Council]] (Vidhan Parishad/Saasana Mandali),<br />
#'''Judicial Powers''' related to grant of pardons, reprieves, etc. and consultations.<br />
#'''Discretionary powers''' to be carried out according to the discretion of the governor. The governors of India have similar powers and functions of the state level as those of the president of India at central level.<br />
=== Executive powers ===<br />

== Removal ==<br />
<br />
A governor holds their office till five years, but it can be terminated earlier by two ways:<br />
# '''Dismissal by the president''' without assigning any reason,<ref name=":9">{{Cite web |date=2010-05-07 |title=BP Singhal vs Union of India |url=https://api.sci.gov.in/jonew/judis/36321.pdf |access-date=2023-06-16 |website=Supreme Court of India}}</ref> at whose pleasure the governor holds office. This alternative assumption is that he/she can be removed if the 'council of ministers' advice the President for such dismissal. Hence, it is the Central Government that can remove him/her.<ref name=":2" /> However, it is the duty of the president to dismiss a governor whose acts are upheld by courts as unconstitutional and malafide.<ref name=":9" /><br />
# '''Resignation by the governor.'''<ref name=":2" /><br />
<br />
The Constitution does not lay out any specific reasons for removal of a Governor from their office. However, this power may be used in events like bribery, treason, corruption or/and violation of the constitution.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Basu |first=Durga Das |title=Introduction to the Constitution of India |publisher=[[LexisNexis]] |year=2015 |isbn=978-93-5143-446-7 |edition=22nd |location=Gurgaon, Haryana, India |pages=256 |language=English}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Legal immunity==<br />
<br />
Under [[s:Constitution of India/Part XIX|Article 361]] of the constitution, governor cannot be summoned for questioning except on their voluntary willingness to testify in the court in support of their controversial deeds though the unconstitutional decisions taken by the governor would be declared invalid by the courts. The case would be decided by the courts based on the facts furnished by the union government for the governor's role.<br />
<br />
As clarified by the Supreme Court in the case 'Rameshwar Prasad & Ors vs. Union of India & ANR, though governor cannot be prosecuted and imprisoned during their tenure, the governor can be prosecuted after stepping down from the post for the guilt committed during their term of governorship as declared earlier by the courts.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2006-01-24 |title=Rameshwar Prasad and Ors.

Political observers have described governorship as "plush old age homes" wherein the governor does not stay impartial and act against popular state leaders.

The '''Chief Minister of West Bengal''' ([[ISO 15919|ISO]]: {{transliteration|ba|ISO|Paścimavaṅgera Mukhyamantrī}}) is the ''[[de facto]]'' head of the executive branch of the [[Government of West Bengal]], the subnational authority of the Indian state of [[West Bengal]]. The chief minister is the head of the Council of Ministers and advises the governor on the appointment of ministers. Along with the council of ministers, the chief minister exercises executive authority in the state. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose [[Cabinet (government)|council of ministers]] are [[Cabinet collective responsibility|collectively responsible]] to the [[West Bengal Legislative Assembly]]. The chief minister also serves as the Leader of the House in the Legislative Assembly.<ref>{{cite web |title=Leader of the House – Legislative Assembly |url=https://apuat21.cgg.gov.in/web/legislative-assembly/leader-of-the-house}}</ref><br />

On 17 August 1947, the former [[British Raj|British Indian]] province of [[Bengal Presidency|Bengal]] was [[Partition of Bengal (1947)|partitioned]] into the Pakistani province of [[East Bengal]] and the Indian state of [[West Bengal]]. Since then, West Bengal has had eight chief ministers. [[Prafulla Chandra Ghosh]] of the [[Indian National Congress]] (INC) became the state's first head of government as ''premier'' before the office of chief minister formally came into effect.<ref>[http://members.tripod.com/~tanmoy/bengal/modern.html Modern Bengal] ''A Short History of Bengal''. Retrieved 18 April 2009.</ref> Following the adoption of the [[Constitution of India]] on 26 January 1950, [[Bidhan Chandra Roy|Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy]] became the first chief minister of West Bengal. A period of political instability followed between 1967 and 1972, during which the state witnessed three assembly elections, four coalition governments and three periods of [[President's rule]].<ref name=assembly>[http://wbassembly.gov.in/origin_growth.aspx Origin and Growth of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly].

The victory of the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]]-led [[Left Front (West Bengal)|Left Front]] in the [[1977 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election|1977 assembly election]] marked the beginning of 34 years of Left Front rule in West Bengal. [[Jyoti Basu]] served continuously as chief minister for over 23 years, the longest uninterrupted tenure by any chief minister in India at the time. His record was surpassed in 2018 by [[Pawan Kumar Chamling]] of Sikkim.<ref>"[https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/pawan-kumar-chamling-becomes-longest-serving-chief-minister-surpassing-jyoti-basus-record/article23720589.ece Pawan Kumar Chamling crosses Jyoti Basu's record as longest-serving Chief Minister]".

<br />
In the [[2011 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election|2011 assembly election]], the [[All India Trinamool Congress|Trinamool Congress]] defeated the Left Front, ending its 34-year{{efn|33 years 333 days}} rule in the state, one of the longest-serving democratically elected communist governments in the world. The party's leader, [[Mamata Banerjee]], was sworn in on 20 May 2011 as the first woman chief minister of West Bengal. She was subsequently re-elected in the [[2016 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election|2016]] and [[2021 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election|2021]] assembly elections.<br />
<br />
In the [[2026 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election|2026 assembly election]], the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] secured a majority in the legislative assembly, ending the Trinamool Congress's 15-year{{efn|14 years 352 days}} tenure in government.

In India, a '''governor''' is the constitutional [[head of state]] in each of the [[Indian states]] and has powers and functions at the state level similar to those of the [[President of India]] at the central level. A governor acts as the constitutional head and takes all their decisions based on the advice of [[Chief minister (India)|chief minister]] and their council of ministers. The rank of each governor in India is 4th in the [[Order of precedence]] of India.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=May 2022 |title=Constitution of India - Art. 163 |url=https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf#page=103 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230606211619/https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf |archive-date=6 June 2023 |access-date=14 June 2023 |website=Legislative Dept., Govt. of India |page=72}}</ref><br />

== Powers and functions ==<br />
<br />
The primary function of the governor is to preserve, protect and defend the constitution and the law as incorporated in their oath of office under [[s:Constitution of the India/Part VI|Article 159]] of the Indian constitution in the administration of the state affairs.<ref>{{Cite web |date=May 2022 |title=Constitution of India - Art. 159 |url=https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf#page=102 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230606211619/https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf |archive-date=6 June 2023 |access-date=14 June 2023 |website=Legislative Dept., Govt. of India |page=71}}</ref> All the governor's actions, [[Three Judges Cases|recommendations]] and supervisory powers (Article 167c, Article 200, Article 213, Article 355, etc.) over the executive and legislative entities of a state shall be used to implement the provisions of the Constitution.<br />
<br />
Unlike the President of India, the governor has no military or diplomatic powers. However, they possess legislative, executive and judicial powers that are similar to the powers of the President.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Basu |first=Durga Das |title=Introduction to the Constitution of India |publisher=[[LexisNexis]] |year=2015 |isbn=978-93-5143-446-7 |edition=22nd |location=Gurgaon, Haryana, India |pages=258 |language=English}}</ref><br />
<br />
A governor has different types of powers:<br />
#'''Executive powers''' related to administration, appointments and removals,<br />
#'''Legislative powers''' related to lawmaking and the [[State Legislature (India)|state legislature]], that is [[State Legislative Assembly (India)|State Legislative Assembly]] (Vidhan Sabha/Saasana Sabha) or [[State Legislative Council (India)|State Legislative Council]] (Vidhan Parishad/Saasana Mandali),<br />
#'''Judicial Powers''' related to grant of pardons, reprieves, etc. and consultations.<br />
#'''Discretionary powers''' to be carried out according to the discretion of the governor. The governors of India have similar powers and functions of the state level as those of the president of India at central level.<br />
=== Executive powers ===<br />

<br />
== Removal ==<br />
<br />
A governor holds their office till five years, but it can be terminated earlier by two ways:<br />
# '''Dismissal by the president''' without assigning any reason,<ref name=":9">{{Cite web |date=2010-05-07 |title=BP Singhal vs Union of India |url=https://api.sci.gov.in/jonew/judis/36321.pdf |access-date=2023-06-16 |website=Supreme Court of India}}</ref> at whose pleasure the governor holds office. This alternative assumption is that he/she can be removed if the 'council of ministers' advice the President for such dismissal. Hence, it is the Central Government that can remove him/her.<ref name=":2" /> However, it is the duty of the president to dismiss a governor whose acts are upheld by courts as unconstitutional and malafide.<ref name=":9" /><br />
# '''Resignation by the governor.'''<ref name=":2" /><br />
<br />
The Constitution does not lay out any specific reasons for removal of a Governor from their office. However, this power may be used in events like bribery, treason, corruption or/and violation of the constitution.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Basu |first=Durga Das |title=Introduction to the Constitution of India |publisher=[[LexisNexis]] |year=2015 |isbn=978-93-5143-446-7 |edition=22nd |location=Gurgaon, Haryana, India |pages=256 |language=English}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Legal immunity==<br />
<br />
Under [[s:Constitution of India/Part XIX|Article 361]] of the constitution, governor cannot be summoned for questioning except on their voluntary willingness to testify in the court in support of their controversial deeds though the unconstitutional decisions taken by the governor would be declared invalid by the courts. The case would be decided by the courts based on the facts furnished by the union government for the governor's role.<br />
<br />
As clarified by the Supreme Court in the case 'Rameshwar Prasad & Ors vs. Union of India & ANR, though governor cannot be prosecuted and imprisoned during their tenure, the governor can be prosecuted after stepping down from the post for the guilt committed during their term of governorship as declared earlier by the courts.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2006-01-24 |title=Rameshwar Prasad and Ors. Vs. Union of India and Anr. |url=https://api.sci.gov.in/jonew/judis/27437.pdf |access-date=2023-06-23 |website=Supreme Court of India}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Analysis of role in Government==<br />
While the [[President of India]] is "elected", the governor is "selected" by the incumbent central government.<ref name="Changing UPA">{{Cite news |last=R. Jagannathan |date=18 June 2014 |title=Changing UPA's Governors: Why Tharoor Is only Half-Right |work=Firstpost |url=http://www.firstpost.com/politics/changing-upas-governors-tharoor-half-right-1576401.html |url-status=live |access-date=27 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140623000939/http://www.firstpost.com/politics/changing-upas-governors-tharoor-half-right-1576401.html |archive-date=23 June 2014}}</ref> That is why there have been many instances when governors appointed by a previous government are removed by an incoming government. The reasons are more political.<br />
<br />
The supreme court has ruled that governors should be given security of term, but this is generally not adhered to.<ref name="Changing UPA" /><br />
<br />
Political observers have described governorship as "plush old age homes" wherein the governor does not stay impartial and act against popular state leaders. In 1984, Congressman [[Thakur Ram Lal]] dismissed the [[N. T. Rama Rao]] government and allowed [[N. Bhaskara Rao]] as chief minister of Andhra Pradesh for 31 days.<ref name="Why the post of governors should be abolished">{{Cite news |last=Rajesh Ramachandran |date=19 June 2014 |title=Why the Post of Governors Should Be Abolished |work=The Economic Times |url=http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2014-06-19/news/50711020_1_governors-raj-bhawans-upa-government |url-status=dead |access-date=27 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140622120219/http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2014-06-19/news/50711020_1_governors-raj-bhawans-upa-government |archive-date=22 June 2014}}</ref><br />

In January 2014, the [[Central Bureau of Investigation]] (CBI) approached the Union Law Ministry under the [[United Progressive Alliance (India)|UPA Government]] to record statements of West Bengal governor [[M.

Their views were also considered before Indian Government signed the contract with Agusta Westland. However, Union Law ministry stonewalled CBI probe by rejecting CBI's request to examine them claiming they had 'immunity'.<ref>{{Cite news |date=22 January 2014 |title=VVIP Chopper Deal: CBI Seeks President's Permission to Question Narayanan, Wanchoo |work=[[The Times of India]] |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/VVIP-chopper-deal-CBI-seeks-Presidents-permission-to-question-Narayanan-Wanchoo/articleshow/29177235.cms |url-status=live |access-date=27 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202175800/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2014-01-22/india/46461322_1_service-ceiling-former-iaf-chief-cbi-move |archive-date=2 February 2014}}</ref><br />

In India, a '''governor''' is the constitutional [[head of state]] in each of the [[Indian states]] and has powers and functions at the state level similar to those of the [[President of India]] at the central level. A governor acts as the constitutional head and takes all their decisions based on the advice of [[Chief minister (India)|chief minister]] and their council of ministers. The rank of each governor in India is 4th in the [[Order of precedence]] of India.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=May 2022 |title=Constitution of India - Art. 163 |url=https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf#page=103 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230606211619/https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf |archive-date=6 June 2023 |access-date=14 June 2023 |website=Legislative Dept., Govt. of India |page=72}}</ref><br />

== Powers and functions ==<br />
<br />
The primary function of the governor is to preserve, protect and defend the constitution and the law as incorporated in their oath of office under [[s:Constitution of the India/Part VI|Article 159]] of the Indian constitution in the administration of the state affairs.<ref>{{Cite web |date=May 2022 |title=Constitution of India - Art. 159 |url=https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf#page=102 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230606211619/https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf |archive-date=6 June 2023 |access-date=14 June 2023 |website=Legislative Dept., Govt. of India |page=71}}</ref> All the governor's actions, [[Three Judges Cases|recommendations]] and supervisory powers (Article 167c, Article 200, Article 213, Article 355, etc.) over the executive and legislative entities of a state shall be used to implement the provisions of the Constitution.<br />
<br />
Unlike the President of India, the governor has no military or diplomatic powers. However, they possess legislative, executive and judicial powers that are similar to the powers of the President.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Basu |first=Durga Das |title=Introduction to the Constitution of India |publisher=[[LexisNexis]] |year=2015 |isbn=978-93-5143-446-7 |edition=22nd |location=Gurgaon, Haryana, India |pages=258 |language=English}}</ref><br />
<br />
A governor has different types of powers:<br />
#'''Executive powers''' related to administration, appointments and removals,<br />
#'''Legislative powers''' related to lawmaking and the [[State Legislature (India)|state legislature]], that is [[State Legislative Assembly (India)|State Legislative Assembly]] (Vidhan Sabha/Saasana Sabha) or [[State Legislative Council (India)|State Legislative Council]] (Vidhan Parishad/Saasana Mandali),<br />
#'''Judicial Powers''' related to grant of pardons, reprieves, etc. and consultations.<br />
#'''Discretionary powers''' to be carried out according to the discretion of the governor. The governors of India have similar powers and functions of the state level as those of the president of India at central level.<br />
=== Executive powers ===<br />

== Removal ==<br />
<br />
A governor holds their office till five years, but it can be terminated earlier by two ways:<br />
# '''Dismissal by the president''' without assigning any reason,<ref name=":9">{{Cite web |date=2010-05-07 |title=BP Singhal vs Union of India |url=https://api.sci.gov.in/jonew/judis/36321.pdf |access-date=2023-06-16 |website=Supreme Court of India}}</ref> at whose pleasure the governor holds office. This alternative assumption is that he/she can be removed if the 'council of ministers' advice the President for such dismissal. Hence, it is the Central Government that can remove him/her.<ref name=":2" /> However, it is the duty of the president to dismiss a governor whose acts are upheld by courts as unconstitutional and malafide.<ref name=":9" /><br />
# '''Resignation by the governor.'''<ref name=":2" /><br />
<br />
The Constitution does not lay out any specific reasons for removal of a Governor from their office. However, this power may be used in events like bribery, treason, corruption or/and violation of the constitution.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Basu |first=Durga Das |title=Introduction to the Constitution of India |publisher=[[LexisNexis]] |year=2015 |isbn=978-93-5143-446-7 |edition=22nd |location=Gurgaon, Haryana, India |pages=256 |language=English}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Legal immunity==<br />
<br />
Under [[s:Constitution of India/Part XIX|Article 361]] of the constitution, governor cannot be summoned for questioning except on their voluntary willingness to testify in the court in support of their controversial deeds though the unconstitutional decisions taken by the governor would be declared invalid by the courts. The case would be decided by the courts based on the facts furnished by the union government for the governor's role.<br />
<br />
As clarified by the Supreme Court in the case 'Rameshwar Prasad & Ors vs. Union of India & ANR, though governor cannot be prosecuted and imprisoned during their tenure, the governor can be prosecuted after stepping down from the post for the guilt committed during their term of governorship as declared earlier by the courts.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2006-01-24 |title=Rameshwar Prasad and Ors.

<br />
Unlike the President of India, the governor has no military or diplomatic powers. However, they possess legislative, executive and judicial powers that are similar to the powers of the President.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Basu |first=Durga Das |title=Introduction to the Constitution of India |publisher=[[LexisNexis]] |year=2015 |isbn=978-93-5143-446-7 |edition=22nd |location=Gurgaon, Haryana, India |pages=258 |language=English}}</ref><br />

A governor has different types of powers:<br />
#'''Executive powers''' related to administration, appointments and removals,<br />
#'''Legislative powers''' related to lawmaking and the [[State Legislature (India)|state legislature]], that is [[State Legislative Assembly (India)|State Legislative Assembly]] (Vidhan Sabha/Saasana Sabha) or [[State Legislative Council (India)|State Legislative Council]] (Vidhan Parishad/Saasana Mandali),<br />
#'''Judicial Powers''' related to grant of pardons, reprieves, etc. and consultations.<br />
#'''Discretionary powers''' to be carried out according to the discretion of the governor. The governors of India have similar powers and functions of the state level as those of the president of India at central level.<br />

<br />
== Removal ==<br />
<br />
A governor holds their office till five years, but it can be terminated earlier by two ways:<br />
# '''Dismissal by the president''' without assigning any reason,<ref name=":9">{{Cite web |date=2010-05-07 |title=BP Singhal vs Union of India |url=https://api.sci.gov.in/jonew/judis/36321.pdf |access-date=2023-06-16 |website=Supreme Court of India}}</ref> at whose pleasure the governor holds office. This alternative assumption is that he/she can be removed if the 'council of ministers' advice the President for such dismissal. Hence, it is the Central Government that can remove him/her.<ref name=":2" /> However, it is the duty of the president to dismiss a governor whose acts are upheld by courts as unconstitutional and malafide.<ref name=":9" /><br />
# '''Resignation by the governor.'''<ref name=":2" /><br />
<br />
The Constitution does not lay out any specific reasons for removal of a Governor from their office. However, this power may be used in events like bribery, treason, corruption or/and violation of the constitution.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Basu |first=Durga Das |title=Introduction to the Constitution of India |publisher=[[LexisNexis]] |year=2015 |isbn=978-93-5143-446-7 |edition=22nd |location=Gurgaon, Haryana, India |pages=256 |language=English}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Legal immunity==<br />
<br />
Under [[s:Constitution of India/Part XIX|Article 361]] of the constitution, governor cannot be summoned for questioning except on their voluntary willingness to testify in the court in support of their controversial deeds though the unconstitutional decisions taken by the governor would be declared invalid by the courts. The case would be decided by the courts based on the facts furnished by the union government for the governor's role.<br />
<br />
As clarified by the Supreme Court in the case 'Rameshwar Prasad & Ors vs. Union of India & ANR, though governor cannot be prosecuted and imprisoned during their tenure, the governor can be prosecuted after stepping down from the post for the guilt committed during their term of governorship as declared earlier by the courts.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2006-01-24 |title=Rameshwar Prasad and Ors. Vs. Union of India and Anr. |url=https://api.sci.gov.in/jonew/judis/27437.pdf |access-date=2023-06-23 |website=Supreme Court of India}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Analysis of role in Government==<br />
While the [[President of India]] is "elected", the governor is "selected" by the incumbent central government.<ref name="Changing UPA">{{Cite news |last=R.

The reasons are more political.<br />
<br />
The supreme court has ruled that governors should be given security of term, but this is generally not adhered to.<ref name="Changing UPA" /><br />
<br />
Political observers have described governorship as "plush old age homes" wherein the governor does not stay impartial and act against popular state leaders.

In India, a '''governor''' is the constitutional [[head of state]] in each of the [[Indian states]] and has powers and functions at the state level similar to those of the [[President of India]] at the central level. A governor acts as the constitutional head and takes all their decisions based on the advice of [[Chief minister (India)|chief minister]] and their council of ministers. The rank of each governor in India is 4th in the [[Order of precedence]] of India.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=May 2022 |title=Constitution of India - Art. 163 |url=https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf#page=103 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230606211619/https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf |archive-date=6 June 2023 |access-date=14 June 2023 |website=Legislative Dept., Govt. of India |page=72}}</ref><br />

== Powers and functions ==<br />
<br />
The primary function of the governor is to preserve, protect and defend the constitution and the law as incorporated in their oath of office under [[s:Constitution of the India/Part VI|Article 159]] of the Indian constitution in the administration of the state affairs.<ref>{{Cite web |date=May 2022 |title=Constitution of India - Art. 159 |url=https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf#page=102 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230606211619/https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf |archive-date=6 June 2023 |access-date=14 June 2023 |website=Legislative Dept., Govt. of India |page=71}}</ref> All the governor's actions, [[Three Judges Cases|recommendations]] and supervisory powers (Article 167c, Article 200, Article 213, Article 355, etc.) over the executive and legislative entities of a state shall be used to implement the provisions of the Constitution.<br />
<br />
Unlike the President of India, the governor has no military or diplomatic powers. However, they possess legislative, executive and judicial powers that are similar to the powers of the President.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Basu |first=Durga Das |title=Introduction to the Constitution of India |publisher=[[LexisNexis]] |year=2015 |isbn=978-93-5143-446-7 |edition=22nd |location=Gurgaon, Haryana, India |pages=258 |language=English}}</ref><br />
<br />
A governor has different types of powers:<br />
#'''Executive powers''' related to administration, appointments and removals,<br />
#'''Legislative powers''' related to lawmaking and the [[State Legislature (India)|state legislature]], that is [[State Legislative Assembly (India)|State Legislative Assembly]] (Vidhan Sabha/Saasana Sabha) or [[State Legislative Council (India)|State Legislative Council]] (Vidhan Parishad/Saasana Mandali),<br />
#'''Judicial Powers''' related to grant of pardons, reprieves, etc. and consultations.<br />
#'''Discretionary powers''' to be carried out according to the discretion of the governor. The governors of India have similar powers and functions of the state level as those of the president of India at central level.<br />
=== Executive powers ===<br />

<br />
== Removal ==<br />
<br />
A governor holds their office till five years, but it can be terminated earlier by two ways:<br />
# '''Dismissal by the president''' without assigning any reason,<ref name=":9">{{Cite web |date=2010-05-07 |title=BP Singhal vs Union of India |url=https://api.sci.gov.in/jonew/judis/36321.pdf |access-date=2023-06-16 |website=Supreme Court of India}}</ref> at whose pleasure the governor holds office. This alternative assumption is that he/she can be removed if the 'council of ministers' advice the President for such dismissal. Hence, it is the Central Government that can remove him/her.<ref name=":2" /> However, it is the duty of the president to dismiss a governor whose acts are upheld by courts as unconstitutional and malafide.<ref name=":9" /><br />
# '''Resignation by the governor.'''<ref name=":2" /><br />
<br />
The Constitution does not lay out any specific reasons for removal of a Governor from their office. However, this power may be used in events like bribery, treason, corruption or/and violation of the constitution.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Basu |first=Durga Das |title=Introduction to the Constitution of India |publisher=[[LexisNexis]] |year=2015 |isbn=978-93-5143-446-7 |edition=22nd |location=Gurgaon, Haryana, India |pages=256 |language=English}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Legal immunity==<br />
<br />
Under [[s:Constitution of India/Part XIX|Article 361]] of the constitution, governor cannot be summoned for questioning except on their voluntary willingness to testify in the court in support of their controversial deeds though the unconstitutional decisions taken by the governor would be declared invalid by the courts. The case would be decided by the courts based on the facts furnished by the union government for the governor's role.<br />
<br />
As clarified by the Supreme Court in the case 'Rameshwar Prasad & Ors vs. Union of India & ANR, though governor cannot be prosecuted and imprisoned during their tenure, the governor can be prosecuted after stepping down from the post for the guilt committed during their term of governorship as declared earlier by the courts.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2006-01-24 |title=Rameshwar Prasad and Ors.

The supreme court has ruled that governors should be given security of term, but this is generally not adhered to.<ref name="Changing UPA" /><br />

Political observers have described governorship as "plush old age homes" wherein the governor does not stay impartial and act against popular state leaders.

==History==<br />
The inaugural governor of Chhattisgarh was retired Indian Police Service officer and former Bihar DGP [[Dinesh Nandan Sahay]] who served in office since the state's creation in November 2000 until he swapped positions with then Governor of Tripura Lieutenant General [[Krishna Mohan Seth]] (retired) in June 2003. <ref>{{Cite news |date=29 January 2018 |title=Chhattisgarh’s first Governor Dinesh Nandan Sahay passes away |url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ani/chhattisgarh-s-first-governor-passes-away-118012900584_1.html |access-date=2026-02-11 |website=Business Standard |language=en}}</ref>Seth served in office until retiring in January 2007 and was succeeded by former Intelligence Bureau director [[E. S. L. Narasimhan]]. Narasimhan served as the state's governor until being permanently transferred as Governor of Andhra Pradesh in January 2010, a position he was holding on additional basis since December 2009 following the resignation of [[N. D. Tiwari]]. Following the transfer of Narasimhan, former Defence Secretary [[Shekhar Dutt]] was appointed as the governor and he remained in office until resigning in June 2014.<ref>{{Cite news |date=3 July 2025 |title=Ex-defence secretary and former Chhattisgarh Governor Shekhar Dutt passes away |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/ex-defence-secretary-shekhar-dutt-passes-away/articleshow/122213193.cms |access-date=2026-02-11 |website=The Times of India |language=en}}</ref> <br />
<br />
Following Dutt's resignation, Madhya Pradesh governor [[Ram Naresh Yadav]] briefly acted as the state's governor. He was relieved of the additional duties following the appointment of [[Balram Das Tandon]] the following month. Tandon remained the governor until his demise in office on 14 August 2018, thus becoming the first and only sitting governor of the state to die in office.<ref>{{Cite news |date=14 August 2018 |title=Balramji Das Tandon, former Chhattisgarh Governor, dies at 90 |url=https://www.ndtv.in/mp-chhattisgarh-news/chhattisgarh-governor-balramji-das-tandon-dies-1900399 |access-date=2026-02-11 |website=NDTV |language=hi}}</ref> He was succeeded by Madhya Pradesh governor [[Anandiben Patel]] on acting basis who served till July the next year and was succeeded by [[Anusuiya Uikey]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=15 August 2018 |title=Anandiben Patel takes additional charge as Governor of Chhattisgarh |url=https://www.ibc24.in/state/anandiben-patel-cg-governor-40880-98270.html |access-date=2026-02-11 |website=IBC24 |language=hi}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=29 July 2019 |title=Anusuiya Uikey assumes charge as new Governor of Chhattisgarh |url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ani/anusuiya-uikey-assumes-charge-as-governor-of-chhattisgarh-119072901471_1.html |access-date=2026-02-11 |website=Business Standard |language=en}}</ref> Uikey served as the state's governor until February 2023 and was transferred as Governor of Manipur and was succeeded by Andhra Pradesh governor [[Biswabhusan Harichandan]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=23 February 2023 |title=Biswabhusan Harichandan sworn in as Governor of Chhattisgarh |url=https://scroll.in/latest/930784/anysuya-uikey-bb-harishchandran-appointed-governors-of-chhattisgarh-and-andhra-pradesh |access-date=2026-02-11 |website=Scroll.in |language=en}}</ref> Till July 2024, Harichandan remained in office and was replaced by [[Ramen Deka]].

In India, a '''governor''' is the constitutional [[head of state]] in each of the [[Indian states]] and has powers and functions at the state level similar to those of the [[President of India]] at the central level. A governor acts as the constitutional head and takes all their decisions based on the advice of [[Chief minister (India)|chief minister]] and their council of ministers. The rank of each governor in India is 4th in the [[Order of precedence]] of India.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=May 2022 |title=Constitution of India - Art. 163 |url=https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf#page=103 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230606211619/https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf |archive-date=6 June 2023 |access-date=14 June 2023 |website=Legislative Dept., Govt. of India |page=72}}</ref><br />

<br />
== Powers and functions ==<br />
<br />
The primary function of the governor is to preserve, protect and defend the constitution and the law as incorporated in their oath of office under [[s:Constitution of the India/Part VI|Article 159]] of the Indian constitution in the administration of the state affairs.<ref>{{Cite web |date=May 2022 |title=Constitution of India - Art. 159 |url=https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf#page=102 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230606211619/https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf |archive-date=6 June 2023 |access-date=14 June 2023 |website=Legislative Dept., Govt. of India |page=71}}</ref> All the governor's actions, [[Three Judges Cases|recommendations]] and supervisory powers (Article 167c, Article 200, Article 213, Article 355, etc.) over the executive and legislative entities of a state shall be used to implement the provisions of the Constitution.<br />
<br />
Unlike the President of India, the governor has no military or diplomatic powers. However, they possess legislative, executive and judicial powers that are similar to the powers of the President.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Basu |first=Durga Das |title=Introduction to the Constitution of India |publisher=[[LexisNexis]] |year=2015 |isbn=978-93-5143-446-7 |edition=22nd |location=Gurgaon, Haryana, India |pages=258 |language=English}}</ref><br />
<br />
A governor has different types of powers:<br />
#'''Executive powers''' related to administration, appointments and removals,<br />
#'''Legislative powers''' related to lawmaking and the [[State Legislature (India)|state legislature]], that is [[State Legislative Assembly (India)|State Legislative Assembly]] (Vidhan Sabha/Saasana Sabha) or [[State Legislative Council (India)|State Legislative Council]] (Vidhan Parishad/Saasana Mandali),<br />
#'''Judicial Powers''' related to grant of pardons, reprieves, etc. and consultations.<br />
#'''Discretionary powers''' to be carried out according to the discretion of the governor. The governors of India have similar powers and functions of the state level as those of the president of India at central level.<br />
=== Executive powers ===<br />

== Removal ==<br />
<br />
A governor holds their office till five years, but it can be terminated earlier by two ways:<br />
# '''Dismissal by the president''' without assigning any reason,<ref name=":9">{{Cite web |date=2010-05-07 |title=BP Singhal vs Union of India |url=https://api.sci.gov.in/jonew/judis/36321.pdf |access-date=2023-06-16 |website=Supreme Court of India}}</ref> at whose pleasure the governor holds office. This alternative assumption is that he/she can be removed if the 'council of ministers' advice the President for such dismissal. Hence, it is the Central Government that can remove him/her.<ref name=":2" /> However, it is the duty of the president to dismiss a governor whose acts are upheld by courts as unconstitutional and malafide.<ref name=":9" /><br />
# '''Resignation by the governor.'''<ref name=":2" /><br />
<br />
The Constitution does not lay out any specific reasons for removal of a Governor from their office. However, this power may be used in events like bribery, treason, corruption or/and violation of the constitution.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Basu |first=Durga Das |title=Introduction to the Constitution of India |publisher=[[LexisNexis]] |year=2015 |isbn=978-93-5143-446-7 |edition=22nd |location=Gurgaon, Haryana, India |pages=256 |language=English}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Legal immunity==<br />
<br />
Under [[s:Constitution of India/Part XIX|Article 361]] of the constitution, governor cannot be summoned for questioning except on their voluntary willingness to testify in the court in support of their controversial deeds though the unconstitutional decisions taken by the governor would be declared invalid by the courts. The case would be decided by the courts based on the facts furnished by the union government for the governor's role.<br />
<br />
As clarified by the Supreme Court in the case 'Rameshwar Prasad & Ors vs. Union of India & ANR, though governor cannot be prosecuted and imprisoned during their tenure, the governor can be prosecuted after stepping down from the post for the guilt committed during their term of governorship as declared earlier by the courts.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2006-01-24 |title=Rameshwar Prasad and Ors.

The '''West Bengal Legislative Assembly''' is the [[unicameral]] legislature of the [[India]]n [[states and territories of India|state]] of [[West Bengal]]. It is located in the [[B. B. D. Bagh]] area of [[Kolkata]], the capital of the state. Members of the Legislative assembly are directly elected by the people. The legislative assembly comprises [[List of constituencies of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly|294]] [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|Members of Legislative Assembly]], all directly elected from single-seat constituencies. Its term is five years, unless sooner dissolved.<br />

[[File:West Bengal Legislative Assembly Entrance - Kolkata 2011-12-18 0339.JPG|thumb|left|Entrance of West Bengal Legislative Assembly]]<br />
[[File:Assembly House of West Bengal, Kolkata6.jpg|thumb|left|Inside the Assembly House]]<br />
<br />
The history of the West Bengal Legislature can be traced back to 18 January 1862 when under the [[Indian Councils Act 1861]], a 12 Member Legislative Council for [[Bengal Presidency]] was established by the Governor-General of British India with the Lt. Governor of Bengal and some nominated members. The strength of the council was gradually enlarged by subsequent acts. Under the [[Indian Councils Act 1892]], the maximum strength of the council was raised to 20 out of which seven were to be elected. The [[Indian Councils Act 1909]] further raised the number of members of the council to 50. Under the [[Government of India Act 1919]], the number of members of the Legislative Council was once again raised to 125. The Bengal Legislative Council constituted under the Government of India Act 1919 was formally inaugurated on 1 February 1921 by the [[Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn|Duke of Connaught]].<br />
<br />
A few years later, under the provisions of the [[Government of India Act 1935]], two chambers of the Bengal Provincial Legislature: the Legislative Council and the Legislative Assembly, were created. The life of the assembly, consisting of 250 members, was to be five years unless dissolved sooner; while the council, with a membership of not less than 63 and not more than 65, was made a permanent body and not subject to dissolution with the provision that one-third of the members should retire every three years.<br />
<br />
On the eve of Independence in 1947, Bengal Province was partitioned into [[West Bengal]] and [[East Bengal]] ([[East Pakistan]]). The West Bengal Legislative Assembly was constituted with 90 members representing the constituencies that fell within the area of West Bengal and two nominated members from [[Anglo-Indian]] community. The Bengal Legislative Council stood abolished. The Legislative Assembly met for the first time after Independence on 21 November 1947.<br />
<br />
The Constitution of India again provided for a bicameral Legislature for West Bengal. Accordingly, the West Bengal Legislative Council consisting of 51 members was constituted on 5 June 1952. The number of members in the Legislative Assembly was 240 including two nominated members from the Anglo-Indian Community. After the first General Elections, the new Assembly met for the first time on 18 June 1952.<br />
<br />
On 21 March 1969, a resolution was passed by the West Bengal Legislative Assembly for the abolition of the Legislative Council. Subsequently, Indian Parliament passed the West Bengal Legislative Council (Abolition) Act, 1969 abolishing the Legislative Council with effect from 1 August 1969.<br />

In India, a '''governor''' is the constitutional [[head of state]] in each of the [[Indian states]] and has powers and functions at the state level similar to those of the [[President of India]] at the central level. A governor acts as the constitutional head and takes all their decisions based on the advice of [[Chief minister (India)|chief minister]] and their council of ministers. The rank of each governor in India is 4th in the [[Order of precedence]] of India.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=May 2022 |title=Constitution of India - Art. 163 |url=https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf#page=103 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230606211619/https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s380537a945c7aaa788ccfcdf1b99b5d8f/uploads/2023/05/2023050195.pdf |archive-date=6 June 2023 |access-date=14 June 2023 |website=Legislative Dept., Govt. of India |page=72}}</ref><br />

A governor has different types of powers:<br />
#'''Executive powers''' related to administration, appointments and removals,<br />
#'''Legislative powers''' related to lawmaking and the [[State Legislature (India)|state legislature]], that is [[State Legislative Assembly (India)|State Legislative Assembly]] (Vidhan Sabha/Saasana Sabha) or [[State Legislative Council (India)|State Legislative Council]] (Vidhan Parishad/Saasana Mandali),<br />
#'''Judicial Powers''' related to grant of pardons, reprieves, etc. and consultations.<br />
#'''Discretionary powers''' to be carried out according to the discretion of the governor. The governors of India have similar powers and functions of the state level as those of the president of India at central level.<br />

==Emoluments/Payment==<br />
<br />
On 1 February 2018, the Government of India decided to give ₹3,50,000 which is equivalent to ₹4,70,00 or US$5,500 in 2023 to governors.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Removal ==<br />
<br />
A governor holds their office till five years, but it can be terminated earlier by two ways:<br />
# '''Dismissal by the president''' without assigning any reason,<ref name=":9">{{Cite web |date=2010-05-07 |title=BP Singhal vs Union of India |url=https://api.sci.gov.in/jonew/judis/36321.pdf |access-date=2023-06-16 |website=Supreme Court of India}}</ref> at whose pleasure the governor holds office. This alternative assumption is that he/she can be removed if the 'council of ministers' advice the President for such dismissal. Hence, it is the Central Government that can remove him/her.<ref name=":2" /> However, it is the duty of the president to dismiss a governor whose acts are upheld by courts as unconstitutional and malafide.<ref name=":9" /><br />
# '''Resignation by the governor.'''<ref name=":2" /><br />
<br />
The Constitution does not lay out any specific reasons for removal of a Governor from their office. However, this power may be used in events like bribery, treason, corruption or/and violation of the constitution.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Basu |first=Durga Das |title=Introduction to the Constitution of India |publisher=[[LexisNexis]] |year=2015 |isbn=978-93-5143-446-7 |edition=22nd |location=Gurgaon, Haryana, India |pages=256 |language=English}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Legal immunity==<br />
<br />
Under [[s:Constitution of India/Part XIX|Article 361]] of the constitution, governor cannot be summoned for questioning except on their voluntary willingness to testify in the court in support of their controversial deeds though the unconstitutional decisions taken by the governor would be declared invalid by the courts. The case would be decided by the courts based on the facts furnished by the union government for the governor's role.<br />
<br />
As clarified by the Supreme Court in the case 'Rameshwar Prasad & Ors vs. Union of India & ANR, though governor cannot be prosecuted and imprisoned during their tenure, the governor can be prosecuted after stepping down from the post for the guilt committed during their term of governorship as declared earlier by the courts.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2006-01-24 |title=Rameshwar Prasad and Ors. Vs. Union of India and Anr. |url=https://api.sci.gov.in/jonew/judis/27437.pdf |access-date=2023-06-23 |website=Supreme Court of India}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Analysis of role in Government==<br />
While the [[President of India]] is "elected", the governor is "selected" by the incumbent central government.<ref name="Changing UPA">{{Cite news |last=R. Jagannathan |date=18 June 2014 |title=Changing UPA's Governors: Why Tharoor Is only Half-Right |work=Firstpost |url=http://www.firstpost.com/politics/changing-upas-governors-tharoor-half-right-1576401.html |url-status=live |access-date=27 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140623000939/http://www.firstpost.com/politics/changing-upas-governors-tharoor-half-right-1576401.html |archive-date=23 June 2014}}</ref> That is why there have been many instances when governors appointed by a previous government are removed by an incoming government. The reasons are more political.<br />
<br />
The supreme court has ruled that governors should be given security of term, but this is generally not adhered to.<ref name="Changing UPA" /><br />
<br />
Political observers have described governorship as "plush old age homes" wherein the governor does not stay impartial and act against popular state leaders. In 1984, Congressman [[Thakur Ram Lal]] dismissed the [[N. T. Rama Rao]] government and allowed [[N. Bhaskara Rao]] as chief minister of Andhra Pradesh for 31 days.<ref name="Why the post of governors should be abolished">{{Cite news |last=Rajesh Ramachandran |date=19 June 2014 |title=Why the Post of Governors Should Be Abolished |work=The Economic Times |url=http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2014-06-19/news/50711020_1_governors-raj-bhawans-upa-government |url-status=dead |access-date=27 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140622120219/http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2014-06-19/news/50711020_1_governors-raj-bhawans-upa-government |archive-date=22 June 2014}}</ref><br />
