KOLKATA: ‘Bhadralok’ neighbourhoods of north and south Kolkata – considered impenetrable fortresses of TMC for over a decade – decisively flipped these elections, revealing a metropolitan electorate that traded its traditional allegiance for a “new beginning” under BJP.Professor Maidul Islam said, “There has been a demographic shift in 15 years. Non-Bengali vote share has increased in Kolkata. Then, there are high-rises, where residents are drawn to the idea of having the same party at the Centre and state. Young voters’ consciousness is shaped by social media, mainstream cinema and series, which act as direct or indirect propaganda.”For years, BJP was branded ‘bahiragata (outsider)’. In 2026, its deployment of “intellectual insiders” played a key role in sanitising its image for a cosmopolitan palate. The selection of Swapan Dasgupta, journalist and Padma Bhushan awardee, for a culturally sensitive seat like Rashbehari and doctors such as Sharadwat Mukherjee in Bidhannagar and Indranil Khan in Behala West helped bridge the gap between the party’s saffron roots and the ‘bhadralok’ demand for sophistication.’Bhadralok’ is a colloquial term that refers to the city’s well-heeled gentry.Political scientist Sayoni Chowdhury said, “We are seeing a consolidation of a neo-middle class that is less tethered to the Left legacy or the early TMC years.”Political analyst Udayan Banerjee said making Samik Bhattacharya BJP’s state chief was a strategic move, as he had an intellectual persona.

. NEW DELHI: Big political personalities were humbled in the latest round of assembly elections, with voters across West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Kerala delivering a “vote for change” that swept aside as many as 50 ministers – including two sitting chief ministers – alongside several high-profile challengers in other states and a Union Territory.In West Bengal, the setback was the most pronounced. A total of 22 ministers from the TMC govt lost their seats, among them CM Mamata Banerjee, who suffered her second consecutive assembly defeat. Banerjee lost in Bhabanipur to Suvendu Adhikari, the same rival who had defeated her in Nandigram in 2021 in a closely fought contest.The rout extended deep into the cabinet. Thirteen cabinet ministers – including Banerjee – were defeated, along with five ministers of state with independent charge. Prominent names who failed to retain their seats included Swapan Debnath, Pradip Kumar Mazumdar, Bratya Basu, and Aroop Biswas.Tamil Nadu witnessed a similarly dramatic churn. CM M K Stalin lost the Kolathur seat, which he had held since 2011, to TVK’s V S Babu. The electoral setback extended to 14 other ministers in his cabinet, including finance minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan and education minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi.In Kerala, CM Pinarayi Vijayan retained his Dharmadam seat, but 13 of his ministers were defeated, including health minister Veena George and education and labour minister V Sivankutty.Among other prominent losers was Gaurav Gogoi, deputy leader of the opposition in Lok Sabha, who was defeated in the Jorhat assembly segment by BJP’s Hitendra Nath Goswami with a margin of 23,182 votes. Attempting to take on Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma while also seeking to sustain the political legacy of his father, three-term CM of Assam Tarun Gogoi, he was unable to translate his parliamentary presence into a victory at the state level.Taken together, the results underline a broad anti-incumbency sweep, signalling that voters were willing to decisively reset political equations across regions.Follow the latest election results 2026, live updates, winner lists, constituency-wise results, party-wise trends and full coverage for Tamil Nadu election results, West Bengal election results, Kerala election results, Assam election results and Puducherry election results results on Times of India.About the AuthorManash Pratim GohainManash Pratim Gohain is a seasoned journalist with over two decades at The Times of India, where he has built a rich body of work spanning education policy, politics, and governance.

PM Modi NEW DELHI: PM Narendra Modi strongly condemned the drone attacks on Fujairah in the UAE, which resulted in injuries to three Indian nationals, saying targeting civilians and infrastructure is unacceptable. Like in his past condemnation of attacks on the UAE and other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, Modi didn’t name Iran, but said India stood in firm solidarity with the UAE and reiterated support for the peaceful resolution of all issues through dialogue and diplomacy. On X, Modi also said ensuring safe and unimpeded navigation through the Strait of Hormuz is vital for enduring regional peace, stability and global energy security. Modi will visit the UAE, a key strategic partner in the Gulf, on his way to Europe this month for a quick layover during which he will meet President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Both external affairs minister S Jaishankar and NSA Ajit Doval have visited the UAE since the US-Iran ceasefire was announced.In a separate statement, the ministry of external affairs called the attacks on Fujairah unacceptable and sought immediate cessation of hostilities and the targeting of civilian infrastructure and innocent civilians. “India continues to stand for dialogue and diplomacy to deal with the situation, so that peace and stability may be restored across West Asia. We also call for free and unimpeded navigation and commerce through the Strait of Hormuz in keeping with international law,” it said, adding India stood ready to support all efforts for a peaceful resolution of issues. The UAE foreign ministry described the attacks, which originated allegedly in Iran, as a serious escalation and said they posed a direct threat to the country’s security.

PM Modi NEW DELHI: PM Narendra Modi strongly condemned the drone attacks on Fujairah in the UAE, which resulted in injuries to three Indian nationals, saying targeting civilians and infrastructure is unacceptable. Like in his past condemnation of attacks on the UAE and other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, Modi didn’t name Iran, but said India stood in firm solidarity with the UAE and reiterated support for the peaceful resolution of all issues through dialogue and diplomacy. On X, Modi also said ensuring safe and unimpeded navigation through the Strait of Hormuz is vital for enduring regional peace, stability and global energy security. Modi will visit the UAE, a key strategic partner in the Gulf, on his way to Europe this month for a quick layover during which he will meet President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Both external affairs minister S Jaishankar and NSA Ajit Doval have visited the UAE since the US-Iran ceasefire was announced.In a separate statement, the ministry of external affairs called the attacks on Fujairah unacceptable and sought immediate cessation of hostilities and the targeting of civilian infrastructure and innocent civilians. “India continues to stand for dialogue and diplomacy to deal with the situation, so that peace and stability may be restored across West Asia. We also call for free and unimpeded navigation and commerce through the Strait of Hormuz in keeping with international law,” it said, adding India stood ready to support all efforts for a peaceful resolution of issues.
