West Bengal Assembly Election 2026 enters a crucial phase as 142 constituencies across South Bengal and Kolkata go to polls on April 29. Seen as the potential turning point of the election, Phase 2 covers the core stronghold of the Trinamool Congress, which dominated this region in 2021. The BJP is now attempting a major push, banking on anti-incumbency and high voter turnout to make inroads into TMC’s fortress. On the other hand, the ruling party is confident that its welfare schemes, grassroots network, and leadership of Mamata Banerjee will help it retain dominance. With a high-profile contest in Bhabanipur and intense campaigning from both sides, Phase 2 is shaping up to be more than just a voting round—it could define the momentum and direction of the entire election.
