Rahul Gandhi has alleged that elections in Assam and West Bengal were “stolen” with support from the Election Commission of India and the Bharatiya Janata Party. He also backed claims made by Mamata Banerjee, saying that more than 100 seats were “stolen” in Bengal. Gandhi further said similar patterns were seen in earlier elections in states like Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Maharashtra, and the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. He ended his remarks with a strong criticism, calling it “election theft and institutional capture,” and questioned the state of electoral fairness.

In West Bengal’s Bhabanipur, BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari has defeated Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in a closely watched contest during the Bengal Assembly Elections 2026. Adhikari, who earlier gained attention for defeating Banerjee in Nandigram in 2021, called this win a major political shift and described it as a “victory of Hindutva,” claiming strong support from Bengali Hindu voters. Bhabanipur had been Banerjee’s constituency since 2011, and her defeat by around 15,000 votes is being seen as a significant change in the state’s political landscape.
