Following the NDA's landslide Bihar victory, BJP has set its sights on West Bengal's 2026 elections. Celebrations erupted at Bengal BJP offices from Salt Lake to Nandigram, with supporters chanting "Next is Bengal" and distributing sweets. State President Shamik Bhattacharya declared TMC's "visarjan" (immersion) is next, citing smooth Bihar polls versus Bengal's alleged violence. Senior leader Bhupendra Yadav will visit Kolkata for strategy meetings as BJP enters "attack mode." However, TMC dismissed the Bihar result's impact, with spokesperson Kunal Ghosh stating both elections are "completely different." TMC trolled BJP's "Next is West Bengal" tweet with a video saying "Sapne dekhna acchi baath hain" (dreaming is good). Analysts say Bengal's battle has begun.
