Breaking a two-decade-long tradition of alliances, the Congress party has decided to contest all 294 seats in the upcoming West Bengal Assembly Elections alone. Led by veterans like Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and State President Shubhankar Sarkar, the party released a powerhouse list of 40 star campaigners on Monday evening.

The heavyweight list includes Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and Mallikarjun Kharge, signaling a massive push from the High Command. Shubhankar Sarkar emphasized that voters are tired of binary politics and are seeking the “Politics of Development” that only Congress can provide.

With the manifesto set to be released on Tuesday and a massive rally scheduled at Hazra Crossing, the Congress is pulling out all the stops. Will this “Go It Alone” strategy redefine the political landscape of Bengal in 2026? All eyes are on the Grand Old Party’s bold move.
