US EditionBJP Leads in India State Elections Across Four States
Partial results show the BJP ahead in at least 190 of 294 seats, putting Mamata Banerjee’s party under pressure in a key opposition stronghold.
- On Monday, the Bharatiya Janata Party held a commanding lead in West Bengal, positioning the party to wrest control from the All India Trinamool Congress led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
- This development marks a major breakthrough for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose party has sought for years to displace Banerjee, one of his most prominent national critics, from the state she has led since 2011.
- The Election Commission reported the BJP leading in at least 190 of the 294 seats in the West Bengal legislature, reflecting a significant political shift in a country of more than 1.4 billion people.
- Banerjee's defeat weakens her leverage within a fragmented opposition bloc, while the result boosts Modi's standing midway through his third term following the 2024 national election.
- In Tamil Nadu, film star Joseph Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam party is on course to oust the ruling DMK, while the Indian National Congress-led opposition looks set to defeat the ruling communist government in Kerala.
