NEW DELHI: Pumped up by the BJP’s historic win in the Delhi assembly elections, West Bengal BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari on Saturday shot off a salvo at CM Mamata Banerjee, saying after the national capital Bengal would vote for the BJP by the uproot ruling TMC.
“Delhi ki jeet hamari hai…2026 mein Bengal ki baari hai…(Delhi’s victory is ours…in 2026 it will be Bengal’s turn),” Adhikari said while reacting to BJP’s massive comeback after 27 years of political exile.

The BJP leader claimed that his party won easily in most of the Bengali majority areas of Delhi.
“‘AAP-da ki vidaai ho gayi hai’… People have given them a befitting reply… Only PM Modi can bring back the glory of Delhi and make it a clean city… I campaigned in Bengali-majority areas of Delhi but the infrastructure is in a very bad situation… They had destroyed Delhi… BJP saw an easy victory in most of the Bengali majority areas of Delhi,” he told ANI.
Suvendu Adhikari, the leader of the opposition in the West Bengal assembly, took to X to congratulate Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the victory, calling it a decisive mandate against AAP.
“Huge Victory for @BJP4Delh I express my heartiest congratulations to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji for leading from the front and orchestrating this very special victory over “AAP-da”. Now the People of Delhi will receive the benefits of Double Engine Govt in the National Capital as Mr Farziwal has been swept out of power,” Adhikari posted on X.
The Bengal BJP unit also hailed the party’s good performance in the Delhi polls, terming it a rejection of corruption and nepotism, while the TMC, which had backed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), maintained silence on the outcome.
State BJP chief and Union minister Sukanta Majumdar said the verdict in Delhi reflected people’s faith in development and would serve as a morale booster for party workers in West Bengal ahead of next year’s assembly elections.
The BJP is poised to form a government in Delhi after more than 26 years, with the latest Election Commission trends showing the saffron party ahead in 45 of the 70 assembly seats and AAP in 21 seats.
“The people of Bengal will also vote for the BJP in the next assembly polls and reject the TMC,” Majumdar told news agency.
The 2021 West Bengal assembly election resulted in a decisive victory for the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC), led by chief minister Mamata Banerjee, securing 213 out of 294 seats. The BJP emerged as the main opposition, significantly increasing its tally to 77 seats but falling short of its electoral aspirations
