Early trends on 4 May 2026 show the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) crossing the 148-seat majority mark in West Bengal's 293-seat Assembly. The BJP would form the state's government for the first time, dealing a historic blow to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress (TMC). In Tamil Nadu, actor-turned-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has surged past both Dravidian stalwarts, the DMK and the AIADMK. The TMC is trailing sharply below its 2021 tally, with Mamata Banerjee currently trailing in her own stronghold of Bhabanipur. In Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister MK Stalin is currently trailing in his own constituency of Kolathur, with TVK's V S Babu leading from the seat. The BJP's victory in West Bengal would represent one of the most dramatic electoral reversals in modern Indian history.
