With the merger on Sunday the NCPI has 20 seats from Bengal, its ally the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has 12 seats, the All India Trinamool Congress has eight, and the Congress has one.
“With 20 Lok Sabha seats, NCPI emerges as the largest parliamentary force from West Bengal, shaping the state’s voice at the national level,” the post read.
“The numbers speak for themselves. Leadership, representation, and the mandate of the people continue to define the future of Bengal and India,” it added.
Founded in 2020 by former Tripura minister Paban Kumar Das, the NCPI is a registered political party but unrecognised by the Election Commission.
Initially conceived as a regional platform focused on tribal welfare, nationalism and governance reforms in the Northeast, it made its electoral debut in the 2023 Tripura Assembly elections, fielding candidates in a handful of constituencies. However, the party failed to win any seats and reportedly secured around 1,200 votes in total.
