The results will be excellent, and the BJP will perform exceptionally well across Kolkata,&#8221; he told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tapas Roy, who recently switched sides from the TMC to the BJP, brings decades of political experience and a strong local connect in North Kolkata. His confidence stems from what he perceives as a growing anti-incumbency sentiment in the city. By securing the Maniktala ticket, Roy is now set for a high-stakes battle in his own backyard, aiming to prove his mettle against his former party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Political analysts believe that Roy\u2019s nomination is a strategic masterstroke by the BJP to penetrate the TMC\u2019s urban fortress. His claim that &#8220;Kolkata will see a very good result&#8221; suggests that the saffron party is eyeing a significant surge in the capital&#8217;s seats. As the election fever peaks, all eyes are on Maniktala to see if Tapas Roy can deliver on his promise and flip the seat in favor of the BJP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a major boost to the BJP\u2019s campaign in North Kolkata, veteran leader Tapas Roy has been officially fielded from the Maniktala constituency for the 2026 Assembly Elections.
