BJP Will Get Less Than 50 Seats in 2026: Abhishek

The MP said it is unfortunate that Mr Adhikari has compared Mamata Banerjee government with that of Mohammad Yunus in Bangladesh

- 

Abhishek Banerjee, Trinamul Congress MP from Diamond Harbour and party's national general secretary said the BJP will get less than 50 seats in the 2026 Assembly election in Bengal.

He was addressing a huge gathering at Srikrishnapur Boharanpur Football ground at Satgachia in his constituency this afternoon.

He published a book titled Nishshabdo Biplab containing details of the work done in his constituency since 2014, when he became an MP for the first time.

"I am not a soothsayer or an astrologer but on the basis of ground reality I can say that the BJP will get below 50 seats in the 2026 Assembly election," he said.

Coming down heavily on state BJP president Sukanta Majumdar he said: "When people demonstrated in front of his car in Budge Budge some days ago, he wrote to Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla and home minister Amit Shah and lodged a complaint. How many letters has he written to the Centre on Bengal's deprivation," he asked.

He said the duo Majumdar and Suvendu Adhikari have criticised the Jagannath temple at Digha and called it an amusement park and circus and thus humiliated Lord Jagannath. People will give them a befitting reply in the election.
