"BJP Victory Beckons in Bengal: Tripura CM Saha Hails End of TMC 'Misrule' Amid Keshpur Rally Frenzy"
Apr 18, 2026
In a resounding show of confidence, Tripura Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha predicted an imminent BJP triumph in the West Bengal Assembly elections, declaring on Saturday that "the days of Trinamool Congress misrule are numbered" following an electrifying roadshow in the Keshpur assembly constituency.
"B JP will win, and the hopes and aspirations of Bengal's people will be fulfilled," Saha proclaimed to roaring crowds, emphasizing the unprecedented public enthusiasm he witnessed as a definitive signal of shifting political winds against the incumbent TMC government. The event in Paschim Medinipur's key Keshpur area – a battleground with a history of competitive polls – drew massive turnouts waving BJP flags, underscoring the party's aggressive campaign momentum as voting phases continue toward a late April conclusion.
Saha, a key BJP strategist often campaigning across Bengal, lambasted TMC's governance, positioning BJP as the harbinger of development and stability. This comes amid high-stakes polls where BJP aims to build on its 2021 gains of 77 seats and 2024 Lok Sabha successes, challenging TMC's dominance despite prediction markets slightly favoring the ruling party.
Local BJP supporters echoed Saha's optimism, chanting slogans and crediting the party's focus on local issues like jobs and infrastructure. With results expected soon, Saha's bold assertion has injected fresh fervor into BJP's bid to unseat TMC after over a decade in power.
