This special report tracks the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) dramatic ascent in West Bengal, evolving from a fringe player with a mere 4% vote share in 2011 to becoming the primary challenger to Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress (TMC). The analysis highlights how the BJP leveraged identity politics, grassroots networking, and leadership under Prime Minister Narendra Modi to consolidate Hindu votes across tribal and urban communities. Following a breakthrough in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections where the party secured 18 seats, the BJP further solidified its position in the 2021 assembly polls, winning 77 seats and displacing the Left Front and Congress as the principal opposition. The report identifies North Bengal and districts like Darjeeling and Purva Medinapur as current strongholds. As high-profile leaders from the TMC and Congress defect to the saffron camp, the BJP continues to challenge the TMC’s 15-year reign, capitalising on regional grievances and anti-incumbency sentiments.
