Such machines have been found in Kalyani, where there is no match; atrocities are being committed against TMC from all sides through central forces. Through SIR, they tried to steal votes, and even now, we are ahead by more than 100 seats, which is not being reported. Everything is being reported wrong. The Election Commission is working entirely as per its own will, and central forces are also with them. The police are also working with the central forces. I tell party workers that there is no need to feel disheartened; you will win after sunset. The counting of 2-4 rounds has taken place, the counting goes up to 14-18 rounds, and we will win. There is no need for anyone to be afraid."

Kolkata election 2026 result LIVE: The rivalry has now reached fever pitch. In a dramatic reversal, Suvendu Adhikari, who is also contesting from Nandigram, has challenged Mamata Banerjee in her home turf now. He branded this the "final nail in the coffin" for the TMC. That phrase was used in reference to the vote-on-account tabled by TMC in February. “Today, in the vote-on-account, finance minister Chandrima Bhattacharya, following the instructions of Mamata Banerjee, put the final nail in the coffin of the dreams of 2.15 crore youths, clearly indicating that they should not expect jobs from the government,” he had said.

Kolkata election 2026 result LIVE: Suvendu has long served as Mamata's lieutenant in TMC and was at the forefront during the 2007/08 Nandigram movement against the then-Left Front government. That very movement had propelled Mamata to a 2011 Legislative Election win ending 34 years of Communist rule in Bengal.

It was only in 2020 when Suvendu changed base and joined BJP after realising that he could be sidelined from the party that he helped build, amid the rising influence of Mamata's nephew, Abhishek Banerjee.

The rivalry eventually took shape in the 2021 election when Mamata challenged Suvendu on his home turf in Nandigram. The former lost by a razor-thin margin of 1956 votes. Although it was a personal defeat for Mamata, TMC won across the state.
