After drawing AAP in Delhi, ‘Bangal Cholo’ next for BJP? , India News – The Times of India

New Delhi: For the BJP, which became appropriately invincible in a decade, winning the Delhi Assembly Elections was always a sticky relationship for the party as it struggled to create inroads despite riding a high ride on the Modi wave.
However, 2025 proved to be a success year as the BJP returned to power in the capital of 27 -year -old Zinc. It defeated the indomitable Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) by winning 48 seats in the 70 -member Delhi Assembly.
With confidence after receiving the Rajdhani brutally in the north, the party has clearly indicated that its next mission is to enter the eastern state of West Bengal.
Like Delhi, entering Mamta Banerjee ruled Bengal has been a difficult task for the BJP for the last two assembly elections.
In the 2016 assembly elections, due to the majority mandate at the Center, the BJP was expected to emerge as a major party, but suffered an embarrassing defeat. The party won only 3 seats in the 294 -seat West Bengal Assembly.

Two years down from the line, the party made another attempt to break Mamata Banerjee’s fort, but to no avail. In 2021, when the results were tricked, the BJP won only 77 seats with TMC, winning 215 seats and won a mandate.

Like Delhi in 2015 and 2020, BJP became flat in Bengal in 2016 and 2021.
However, with Delhi and with dust, BJP leaders of Bengal saw the possibility that Bengal could no longer be “mission impossible”.
As the BJP was celebrating its victory in the capital on February 8, its top Bengal leader Suvendu Adhikari shot a salvo in CM Mamata Banerjee, stating that by TMC who provoked BJP after the national capital Bengal after the national capital Bengal Will vote.
“Delhi’s victory is our.
Due to the BJP’s historic victory in Delhi, BJP chief and Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar said that Delhi’s victory would serve as morale boosters for party employees in West Bengal before next year’s assembly elections.
The party’s IT department head BJP’s Amit Malviya said that “the results of Delhi are being felt in West Bengal” and claimed that “Nervous” Mamata Banerjee would be single in next year’s assembly elections.
“A nervous Mamta Banerjee has told TMC MLAs that there will be no alliance in Bengal … It is not surprising that it applies a separate yardstick for the opposition in Haryana and Delhi, but a place for alliance at home Not ready to take, “Malavia has written. “On X.
