People of West Bengal have rejected Mamata Banerjee, TMC: BJP

With Suvendu Adhikari being sworn-in as the Chief Minister of West Bengal, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday, May 9, slammed the TMC and said that the Mamata Banerjee-led should “accept” that “people of West Bengal have rejected” them.

Amit Malviya, the head of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s national IT cell, took to X to take on the TMC for making major allegations after the BJP’s historic victory in the state.

Malviya stated that the TMC made two key allegations – one regarding the deletion of voters via SIR as well as wrongful addition of voters from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

“But a single set of data demolishes every lie,” he said.

Providing facts from the results announced by the Election Commission of India, Malviya said, “The top five seats with the maximum deletion of ineligible electors during SIR were ALL won by the TMC.”

“In contrast, seats with the least deletions were won by the BJP,” he added.

On the TMC’s claims about the BJP adding “fake voters” from UP and Bihar, Malviya highlighted that the data from the poll body shows that the “top five seats with the maximum addition of voters were all won by the INDI Alliance, 4 by TMC and 1 by Congress.”

“Again, the seats with the least voter additions were won by the BJP,” he wrote.

He added, “And here is the final nail in the coffin: Even if all 27 lakh adjudication cases are added back across constituencies, and one assumes every single vote goes to the TMC, seat-wise analysis still shows the BJP ahead of the TMC in 181 seats, comfortably above the majority mark. Truth is: people of West Bengal have rejected Mamata Banerjee and Trinamool. Accept it.”

In the 2026 Assembly elections in West Bengal, the BJP marked a historic win by bagging 207 seats and ending Mamata Banerjee-led TMC government’s 15-year rule. The TMC managed to get 80 seats, while 2 each were taken by Congress and AJUP and one went to CPI(M).

Notably, Suvendu Adhikari was on Saturday sworn in as the ninth Chief Minister of West Bengal as well as the first Chief Minister of the first BJP-ruled government in the state. During the event, he was greeted with loud applause from the lakhs of party supporters present at Brigade Parade Ground in central Kolkata as well as the dignitaries present at the dais of the oath ceremony.

Besides Adhikari, five other members of the new state’s council of ministers, namely Dilip Ghosh, Agnimitra Paul, Nisith Pramanik, Ashok Kirtania and Khudiram Tudu, were sworn in on Saturday afternoon.
