West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has issued a strong call to action for Trinamool Congress (TMC) workers, setting a firm target of securing at least 215 seats in the 2026 Assembly Elections. Addressing a party workers’ meeting at Netaji Indoor Stadium, she echoed Abhishek Banerjee’s statement, emphasizing that the party must aim for more seats than ever before.
She also launched a sharp attack on BJP, alleging voter list manipulation and announcing the formation of core committees in every district to monitor the electoral roll. Her speech set the stage for TMC’s aggressive election campaign, focusing on securing votes, challenging opposition parties, and mobilizing grassroots workers.
TMC’s Mission 215: Mamata’s Strong Message to Party Workers
Mamata Banerjee made it clear that TMC must aim for a landslide victory in 2026, saying:
“Abhishek is absolutely right. We must secure more than 215 seats. There is no alternative. This is the time to defeat BJP, Congress, and CPI(M) completely.”
Her statement reflects TMC’s confidence in retaining power and expanding its political dominance in Bengal. She urged party leaders and workers to work relentlessly, ensuring maximum outreach and grassroots mobilization.
Allegations of Voter List Manipulation: Mamata Announces Core Committees
One of the key announcements in her speech was the formation of district-level core committees to detect and prevent voter list manipulation. She accused BJP of orchestrating large-scale voter fraud, stating:
“BJP is trying to manipulate Bengal’s voter list by using central agencies. They have added names from Punjab and Haryana into Bengal’s electoral roll. This is happening with the Election Commission’s support.”
To counter this, she directed TMC leaders:
“Each core committee will scrutinize voter lists and submit a report within three days. Booth workers must take to the ground. If necessary, we will protest outside the Election Commission’s office.”
This move indicates that TMC is preparing for a long electoral battle, ensuring that voter rolls remain accurate and free from alleged external influence.
Mamata’s Attack on BJP: ‘Final Countdown Has Begun’
In her fiercest criticism of BJP, Mamata Banerjee predicted that the BJP’s reign would end between 2027 and 2029, saying:
“BJP could not be stopped in Maharashtra and Delhi, but Bengal will resist. We will give them a fitting reply. The countdown has begun. BJP will collapse within 2-3 years.”
She also mocked BJP’s alleged misuse of central agencies, stating:
“Before every election, they decide whom to arrest, whom to charge, and whom to call a thief. It’s shameful! They couldn’t even resolve the R.G. Kar medical case.”
Mamata Banerjee further questioned BJP’s commitment to Hindu festivals, pointing out:
“How many holidays does your government give for Durga Puja? How many for Chhath Puja?”
Her remarks were aimed at consolidating TMC’s core Bengali voter base, countering BJP’s Hindutva narrative, and positioning herself as the true defender of Bengal’s culture.
Congress Betrayal in 2001: Mamata’s Historic Reflection
Bringing up a historical reference, Mamata Banerjee claimed that TMC could have come to power in 2001 if Congress had not betrayed them. This statement highlights her long-standing political rivalry with Congress, reinforcing that TMC sees itself as the sole opposition force against BJP in Bengal.
Conclusion: TMC’s Roadmap for 2026 Elections
Mamata Banerjee’s speech outlined a clear roadmap for TMC’s 2026 Assembly election strategy:
✅ Mission 215+ seats
✅ Core committees to counter voter list manipulation
✅ Aggressive grassroots mobilization
✅ A full-fledged political attack on BJP, Congress, and CPI(M)
With BJP aiming to expand its base in Bengal, and opposition forces regrouping, TMC is preparing for one of the most crucial electoral battles in Bengal’s history.
