Kolkata, India – March 17, 2026
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has released its complete list of 294 candidates for the West Bengal Assembly elections, setting the stage for a major political battle.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will contest from Bhabanipur, where she is set to face BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, making it the most high-profile contest of the election.
The party has dropped 74 sitting MLAs, retained 135, and introduced several new faces in a strategic move to counter anti-incumbency.
