With the 2026 West Bengal Assembly Elections fast approaching, Union Minister and senior BJP leader Sukanta Majumdar has made a high-stakes claim, predicting a sweeping victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party. On Wednesday, April 1, 2026, Majumdar asserted that the BJP is on track to secure a two-thirds majority in the state, ending the long-standing rule of the Trinamool Congress.

Criticizing the incumbent government’s policies and handling of corruption cases, Majumdar stated that the mood on the ground has shifted drastically. He argued that the electorate is tired of “dynasty politics” and is looking for the “Double Engine” growth model. “We are not just looking for a simple majority; we are aiming for a massive mandate to transform Bengal,” the leader remarked during a press briefing.

The Election Commission of India has already scheduled the 294-seat assembly polls for April 23 and April 29. Majumdar’s confidence comes amidst a heated campaign phase where both parties are locked in a fierce battle over voter rolls and local issues. While the TMC dismissed his claims as “wishful thinking,” the BJP’s aggressive stance indicates a high-voltage electoral contest ahead. As the state moves toward the voting days, the “two-thirds majority” claim has become the centerpiece of the BJP’s narrative.
