Feedback about West Bengal verdict 2026 :: And why Mamata Banerjee is left so much 'rejected' and 'isolated'
(Comments from a cross section of people from various states including West Bengal, Meghalaya, Kerala and also beyond)
Sanjay Das (Gen Secy, Meghalaya Congress party)
"Elections are never a cakewalk in India. For the Trinamool too, the assembly elections in 2026 was a tough battle. It crumbled under its own forces. People in the ultimate may feel excited that the people of West Bengal have defeated such a regime. After elections what is going on does not matter much for us in the Congress. Change is in the essence of politics.
The BJP policies and politics will also be rejected .... sooner than later. Arrogance is something the Indian voters do not like. The BJP is more arrogant than TMC."

Tushar Bhadra, Varanasi :
"The election mandate and subsequent political developments should give a crucial political lessons to those who refuse to learn.
"The apologists of the 'Secular brigade' must stop putting the blame for Mamata Banerjee's defeat on SIR or Election Commission's use of its powers. It was also not entirely due to Modi Magic or Team Modi-Shah's hard work. The verdict of May 2026 had nothing to do with any communal polarisation.
But a divide was clear. But this divide was about who was voting for 'a united India' as against a hidden agenda of 'united Bengal' tried by certain quarters. This is why Mamata Banerjee is so much isolated today and her party colleagues are almost reluctantly quitting her camp".

Nikhil Das, ABVP Leader West Bengal
"We are happy people in Assam and West Bengal have given our party landslide victories in both the states."

| Nikhil Das (ABVP leader, Kolkata) |
"To start with, I can say Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji's vision and the right synthesis between Development and Nationalism have brought us dividends. In other words, the people of Bengal and Assam have reposed faith in the powerhouse of delivery of Good Governance.
Today, Kolkata and Guwahati have the Double Engine Government and focus will be to ensure effective implementation of our Sankalp Patra.
I must also give credit to the leadership and sharp organisational ability of respected Shri Amit Shah ji and other leaders such as Sunil Bansal and Bhupendra Yadav".
Ravi Kumar (Kerala)
"I am at a far distance in Kerala. But the information we have been getting here through media reports and from friends have helped me to form my opinion. The Bengal mandate of 2026 is certainly a display of Hindu resurgence.
But as we understand in Kerala; it was guided by a genuine nationalism. May be we have something like this in Kerala also in times to come. It was a vote against Islamic radicalism. It was a vote in an election where the battle was to prevent the state of West Bengal turn into a new Bangladesh or allow it go out of hands. I am happy, the nationalists people of West Bengal including most of my friends in West Bengal took a right decision".
Asutosh Talukdar (Guwahati)
There are many things those have contributed to the ouster of Mamata Banerjee from power in West Bengal. Look at the irony, she was considered invincible. Even she believed she is a PM-material. The arrogance came due to these factors. But the TMC did not realise that being anti-Hindu would be almost being anti-India.
People could sense the pulse. The slogan 'Jai Bangla' always has a typical communal agenda. It's a Bangladeshi slogan. She developed liking for everything Muslim and Bangladeshi. She borrowed the slogan Khela Hobey from Bangladesh. And hence I believe, she had to a pay a bigger price perhaps any other ruling party would have paid after 15 years in office.
But the way people are screaming 'chor chor' at TMC leaders was not expected nor anticipated. It shows people's hatred. That is why she is a vanquished leader today.
Ajay Sen (Retd teacher, Dhanbad, Jharkhand)
The mandate has made it clear that the voters in West Bengal - both men and women - and also rich, middleclass and poor have endorsed BJP's policies and programmes on critical issues. I can also say the BJP has given freedom to people of West Bengal. Most of you may be surprised, but I am not, what is happening with the TMC after elections was expected. Even Sudip Bandyopadhyay, such a senior Trinamool leader and party's floor leader in Lok Sabha, has met Amit Shah and Bhupendra Yadav. Means TMC is almost finished... it's only a matter of time.
There is another view, the Trinamool as a party will be split like we saw developments in Shiv Sena and NCP.
