Assembly Elections 2026 Highlights: 'BJP's downfall has begun,' says Mamata Banerjee women's reservation bill falls in Lok Sabha
The 2026 Assembly elections are being held in multiple phases, beginning with the first round of voting on April 9 and continuing through subsequent rounds later in April, with counting scheduled for mid-May. States going to polls include Assam, Kerala, Puducherry, and West Bengal, each presenting distinct political dynamics and electoral battlegrounds. The BJP-led NDA is aiming to retain power in Assam and expand its footprint in southern and eastern regions, while the Congress-led INDIA bloc and regional parties are striving to consolidate anti-incumbency sentiment. Key campaign themes include economic concerns, welfare delivery, law and order, and regional aspirations. The Election Commission has increased vigilance, deploying central forces and implementing administrative reshuffles to curb malpractice. As campaigning intensifies for upcoming phases, alliances, candidate selection, and voter turnout will play a decisive role in determining the final outcome of these high-stakes elections.

Tamil Nadu polls: 'Rahul, Priyanka to start campaigning in Tamil Nadu soon'
Girish Chodankar, the Congress in-charge for Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, has said that a decision on Rahul Gandhi’s visit to campaign for the Assembly elections will be announced within the next two to three days. He indicated that Rahul Gandhi is likely to campaign alongside Revanth Reddy and DK Shivakumar, while Priyanka Gandhi is also expected to participate.
Chodankar noted that Congress has appointed in-charges for 28 constituencies and set up committees across all 234 Assembly seats to support alliance candidates. He added that Rahul Gandhi may campaign jointly with MK Stalin. Although Rahul Gandhi has already campaigned in three states and is keen to visit Tamil Nadu, his schedule depends on the ongoing Parliament session.
Polling will take place on 23 April, with results due on 4 May. The main contest is between the DMK-led alliance and the NDA, with Vijay’s entry potentially making it a three-cornered fight.

A day after chief minister MK Stalin questioned his silence on delimitation, AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami said the exercise would not affect Tamil Nadu, citing an assurance from Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
Stalin had accused the BJP-led Centre of seeking to reduce southern states’ Lok Sabha representation and challenged Palaniswami to oppose it. Speaking in Dindigul, Palaniswami dismissed the concern, alleging Stalin was raising the issue out of fear of electoral defeat.
On language policy, he criticised the DMK’s alliance with the Congress, contrasting it with past anti-Hindi protests, and accused Stalin of inconsistency. He also rejected claims of strong economic growth, attributing industrial progress to agreements signed during the AIADMK’s tenure.

Tamil Nadu polls: CM Stalin conducts door-to-door campaign in Vellore
Tamil Nadu chief minister and DMK leader MK Stalin, contesting from Kolathur, carried out a door-to-door campaign in Vellore on Tuesday ahead of the April 23 assembly elections. During his visit, he was seen stopping at a local tea stall and engaging informally with residents in the historic “Fort City”.
The DMK has renominated sitting MLA P. Karthikeyan in Vellore, setting up a rematch against AIADMK candidate S.R.K. Appu, whom he defeated in 2021 by 9,181 votes. The Muslim vote is expected to play a significant role in the constituency.
Earlier, Stalin expressed confidence that the DMK-led alliance would defeat the NDA, framing the contest as “Tamil Nadu versus Delhi”. He criticised the BJP for raising delimitation concerns to distract from issues such as LPG shortages and the rupee’s depreciation.
Highlighting his party’s manifesto as a “superstar”, Stalin also proposed a welfare scheme offering Rs 8,000 coupons for women to purchase or exchange household appliances. Voting will be held in a single phase, with counting on May 4.

Assembly polls: Indian democracy will be stronger, vibrant if women quota implemented in 2029, says PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday that Indian democracy would become stronger and more vibrant if the 2029 Lok Sabha and state assembly elections are conducted with women’s reservation fully implemented. In a letter addressed to women across the country, he noted that as women continue to excel in diverse fields, it is only appropriate that their presence in legislative bodies also increases.
He urged that amendments to the ‘Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam’ be passed during the special three-day Parliament sitting beginning 16 April, warning that any delay would be unfortunate and unjust to women. "Our democracy will become stronger and more vibrant if the 2029 Lok Sabha elections and various Assembly elections that year are held with women's reservation fully in place," he said.

The Election Commission has marked 837 of 1,835 booths in the Kolkata North constituency as “super sensitive”, citing a risk of trouble. At hundreds of booths, over 150 names were removed from electoral rolls during the SIR exercise, raising concerns that excluded voters may protest, district election officer Smita Pandey said. Shyampukur has 80 such booths. About 45.6% are classified as super sensitive, with factors including law and order concerns and dense population. The EC has flagged 264 of 583 polling premises as super sensitive. Authorities plan to deploy drones in congested northern areas. Police commissioner Ajay Nand said route marches, preventive arrests and cash seizures are underway. In Kolkata South, over 400 of 1,093 stations are critical or vulnerable, with Rs 8.9 crore seized.

Bengal polls: I-PAC director Chandel sent to 10 days in ED custody
A special court in Delhi has remanded I-PAC co-founder Vinesh Chandel to ten days in Enforcement Directorate custody following his arrest in a money-laundering probe, a move that has triggered political concern ahead of key state elections.
Reacting on X, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee described the timing of the arrest, just days before the Assembly polls, as “alarming” and detrimental to democratic fairness. She wrote, “The arrest of Vinesh Chandel, co-founder of I-PAC, barely 10 days before the Bengal elections, is not just alarming- It shakes the very idea of a level playing field. At a time when WB should be moving toward free and fair elections, this kind of action sends a chilling message: If you work with the opposition, you could be next. That's not democracy- that's intimidation!”
Polling in West Bengal will be held in two phases on April 23 and 29, with results due on May 4. The election follows the 2021 contest in which the Trinamool Congress secured a decisive victory, although the BJP made significant gains.
The Election Commission has also confirmed single-phase polls in Assam, Kerala, Puducherry and Tamil Nadu, with vote counting scheduled for 4 May.

West Bengal polls: I-PAC director Chandel sent to 10 days in ED custody
I-PAC co-founder Vinesh Chandel was sent to a ten-day custody of the Enforcement Directorate by a special court in Delhi following his arrest in a money-laundering case.
The Enforcement Directorate detained Chandel late on Monday in connection with an alleged coal scam in West Bengal, where assembly elections are imminent. He was produced before a Prevention of Money Laundering Act court, which granted custody after questioning.
The case stems from a 2020 FIR filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation into alleged large-scale coal pilferage linked to Eastern Coalfields Limited.
Earlier searches were conducted at properties linked to I-PAC officials and associates across multiple cities. The firm, which has advised the Trinamool Congress since 2021, has not issued a response.

Amit Shah accuses Nehru-Gandhi family of neglecting Assam
"The Gandhi family, the Nehru family, they have never had good feelings for Assam. In 1962, when China attacked, Jawaharlal Nehru said 'tata-bye-bye' to Assam. Is Assam your father's property? Today I am saying, no one can seize even an inch of Assam's land. This is India's Assam. Brothers and sisters, the state president here is accused of having relations with an enemy nation of India. He says nothing. In 60 years, Congress built three bridges," Shah said.
"In 10 years, the BJP built Asia's largest bridges, the longest bridges in Assam. Four have been built, and two are under construction. Our policy has been 'Approach Assam', 'Aspire Assam', and 'Inspire Assam'," he added.

'Hologram Vijay' comes to TVK chief's aid for campaigning
In a novel campaign strategy ahead of the April 23 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, Vijay’s party has introduced 3D hologram projections to reach voters across constituencies.
The initiative, deployed by TVK candidate Vinoth Ravi in Kumbakonam, debuted on April 12. A life-sized digital projection of Vijay was displayed alongside the candidate, with visuals showing the “hologram” delivering a synchronised speech from a campaign vehicle, creating the illusion of the leader’s physical presence.
Party functionaries said the move was aimed at expanding outreach, given the scale of constituencies the party is contesting.
Vijay Chandran, the party’s Thanjavur district treasurer, said the idea emerged after discussions about the feasibility of hologram technology.
"We realised that it is not possible for our Thalaivar (TVK chief Vijay) to go to all the constituencies. We were thinking about how best we can bring to people about his message. I remembered Praveen K, a third-year student of AI and Data Science, who was telling me about hologram marketing. The hologram initiative allows our leader to be omnipresent, ensuring that voters in every corner of the state can experience his address directly, even as he physically attends high-stakes rallies elsewhere," Chandran told PTI.

‘Statements made out of fear’: DMK’s Raja Anbazhagan targets Palaniswami
Raja Anbazhagan, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam candidate from T. Nagar, expressed confidence of a strong win in the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, projecting a margin of over 10,000 votes in the constituency.
“I am confident of a decisive victory in the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, the party would win by a margin of over 10,000 votes (in the constituency). T. Nagar, being one of Chennai’s key commercial and residential hubs, has witnessed significant development under the present government, including improved drainage infrastructure, new flyovers, and enhanced connectivity. The contest in the constituency is primarily between the DMK and the AIADMK,” he said.
Taking aim at his rival, B. Sathyanarayanan of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, Anbazhagan said, “His chances of winning are low. Corruption charges from the previous AIADMK regime and pending cases have impacted his credibility.”
Reacting to remarks by AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami against Chief Minister M. K. Stalin, he added, “Such statements were made out of fear of electoral defeat.”

She also accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of attempting “to break Bengal through delimitation” expected after this year’s Census. Banerjee claimed the BJP was seeking to “harass and intimidate” voters—including herself—because it “knows it will lose the elections.”
"Many will be detained and arrested before the polls (as part of an election strategy). These operations will start (Sunday) tonight. Do not be intimidated... Remember, everything is under EC during this election - nothing is in our hands. Be vigilant for another 15-21 days; then we will see, we will fight, and we will win again... They (BJP) know they will lose the election. That is why they have changed everything here," the CM said at a rally in East Burdwan's Khandaghosh.

Kerala Assembly Elections 2026: Congress leader V D Satheesan seeks immediate release of state poll data
Senior Congress leader V D Satheesan has written to the Election Commission of India, urging it to promptly publish detailed polling data from the Kerala Assembly elections held on April 9.
In his letter to the Chief Election Commissioner, Satheesan noted that even three days after polling concluded, officially verified figures have not been uploaded on the Commission’s website. He flagged the absence of constituency-wise turnout data, vote share percentages, and postal ballot statistics in his April 12 communication.
Emphasising the need for transparency, he said timely disclosure of such data is essential to enable public scrutiny and sustain trust in the electoral process. He also called for the immediate release of polling percentages and postal voting details on the Commission’s official platform.
Satheesan added that access to verified information is critical for stakeholders, including voters, researchers, and political representatives.
According to the Commission, Kerala recorded a voter turnout of 78.03 per cent in the April 9 Assembly polls, which saw 883 candidates contesting across 140 constituencies. The results are scheduled to be announced on May 4.

West Bengal elections: Sonamukhi BJP candidate predicts 'double-engine' government
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate for the Sonamukhi constituency, Dibakar Gharami, asserted that a major political shift is imminent in West Bengal as the state approaches the assembly elections.
Speaking to ANI, Gharami said, "...Today, we learned that change in Bengal is inevitable... Mamata Banerjee should have been awarded for lying... people of Bengal have decided there will be a double-engine government in the state this time..."
"It has been proven many times that they (TMC workers) help Bangladeshi infiltrators to infiltrate here by making their voter IDs and Aadhaar cards. Mamata Banerjee raised such a huge outcry just to get their names included (in the voter list)... Mamata Banerjee has proved that these infiltrators are her voters, and if they are gone, then she will also be gone," he added.

Kerala Assembly Elections: LDF files complaint against UDF candidate in Kerala’s Kuttanad alleging cash-for-vote
The LDF has filed a complaint with the EC alleging that UDF candidate Reji Cheriyan was involved in cash-for-vote practices during the Assembly election campaign in the Kuttanad constituency.
The LDF election committee alleged in its complaint that Cheriyan distributed money both directly and through UPI transactions.
The Kerala Assembly polls were held on April 9, and the results for all 140 constituencies will be declared on May 4.
The LDF is aiming for a third term, the UDF is seeking a comeback, and the NDA hopes to open its account in the state.
LDF leaders said on Sunday that they had also submitted a purported video in this regard to the District Returning Officer and the Chief Electoral Officer, seeking a detailed probe against the UDF candidate.
Cheriyan contested the election on a Kerala Congress (Joseph) ticket, a constituent of the UDF, and took on sitting MLA Thomas K Thomas of the NCP.
Responding to the allegations, Cheriyan told reporters on Sunday that he was ready to face any probe.
“I will provide a reply with evidence when the authorities seek it based on the complaint,” he said.

West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026: Delimitation Bill is being brought in Parliament amid elections, no consultations held, says Mamata Banerjee
West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party, saying "SIR is a huge scam" and the party is opposed to Uniform Civil Code in the state.
She also said that a special sitting of Parliament has been called amid elections and the government is brining Delimitation Bill for which no consultations have been held.
"Elections are going on and in the middle of that, they are bringing Delimitation Bill in Parliament. This was not even debated. The reason behind this is that they want to divide Bengal and conduct NRC here...Our fight is with 'Vanish Kumar' (referring to CEC Gyanesh Kumar)...I reiterate this, BJP will be gone one day very soon," she said at an election rally.
"SIR is a huge scam. This is not SIR but an attempt to bring BJP to power. This is a scam to delete names. 90 lakh names have been deleted, she alleged.
The government has convened a special sitting of Parliament on April 16,17,18 to discuss amendments to the Women's Reservation Bill. Opposition parties have voiced concerns over the proposed Delimitation Bill and the manner in which seats are sought to be increased in Lok Sabha.
The Trinamool Congress leader criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that he visits West Bengal only during elections. "He comes like a seasonal bird during elections, not during floods or disasters," she said.
Mamata Banerjee said BJP has spoken about Uniform Civil Code in its manifesto.

West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026: TMC backs ‘tukde-tukde’ gang for appeasement, says PM Modi
On a day Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleged that the "tukde-tukde" gang, which had threatened to snap the strategic Siliguri Corridor to cut off the Northeast from the rest of India, received the support of TMC’s "appeasement politics", West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accused the BJP of planning to divide the state by means of delimitation.
In a politically charged atmosphere in Bengal where sharp campaign rhetoric from all sides is adding to the rising climatic heat during poll run-up, Modi said the TMC backed the “tukde-tukde” gang from "the streets to Parliament" in order to advance its appeasement politics, which has caused untold misery to the state.
"The country has a 'tukde-tukde' gang, and it threatened to cut off the Siliguri Corridor. They wanted to separate the Northeast from the country.
The TMC, which indulges in appeasement politics, supports such people from the streets to Parliament. That is the real face of TMC," he alleged, while addressing an election rally at the Kawakhali ground in the northern Bengal city of Siliguri.
The Siliguri Corridor, also known as the 'Chicken's Neck', is a narrow stretch of land in the northern part of Bengal, not more than 20-22 km wide, acting as the only land link between mainland India and its eight northeastern states.

Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections 2026 Live: TVK Chief Vijay holds election campaign in Kanniyakumari
Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief and actor Vijay, who is contesting from Perambur and Tiruchirappalli East constituencies, held an election campaign rally in Kanniyakumari on Sunday.
He also rode a bicycle during his election campaign rally, drawing attention from supporters gathered along the route.
Earlier on Sunday, before leaving from his residence in Neelankarai in Chennai, Vijay came out of his house and waved to party cadres assembled outside.
The supporters, filled with excitement, shouted "Thalapathy! Thalapathy!" and ran alongside his vehicle. He travelled by car from his residence to Chennai airport, and along the entire route, large crowds of people had gathered to catch a glimpse of him.
The Kanniyakumari constituency is set to witness a three-cornered contest, with AIADMK MLA Thalavai Sundaram defending his seat against DMK candidate Mahesh R and TVK candidate Madhavan S R, who is contesting for the first time under the party's banner. The seat has historically seen a pattern of alternation between AIADMK and DMK since 1989.
With the Assembly elections fast approaching, TVK's Vijay on Saturday appealed to the party workers to "step out into the field, and undertake work while keeping a selfless camaraderie to help candidates".
"At this moment, as election day rapidly approaches, I make one appeal. Polling booth convenors, members who have joined the TVK to journey alongside us as comrades, my dear friends and friends who hold immense love for the League--all of you, step into the field and undertake the work. Over the next ten days, at times convenient for you, in the mornings and evenings, go from house to house in the places where each of you reside, and meet our own people, the people of Tamil Nadu," Vijay wrote in a post on X.
The Assembly Elections 2026 have entered a crucial phase, with the first round of polling successfully conducted on April 9 across key constituencies. Meanwhile, campaign activity is intensifying across West Bengal and Tamil Nadu.
For West Bengal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the “mood in West Bengal is clearly favouring the BJP” after interacting with party workers in Siliguri, citing grassroots feedback against the ruling All India Trinamool Congress. BJP MP Manoj Tiwari is also set to hold multiple campaign events, including roadshows and rallies, as polling approaches in two phases on April 23 and April 29.
In Tamil Nadu, the campaign has turned sharply confrontational. Raja Anbazhagan of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam expressed confidence of a decisive win from T. Nagar, projecting a margin of over 10,000 votes and highlighting infrastructure and connectivity improvements under the current government. He also targeted his opponent B. Sathyanarayanan, questioning his credibility, and dismissed remarks by Edappadi K. Palaniswami as being driven by “fear of electoral defeat”.
Countering the DMK, Tamilisai Soundararajan of the Bharatiya Janata Party alleged a complete lack of development and widespread corruption under the ruling party, calling for a political shift in favour of the NDA.
Meanwhile in Kerala, the Leader of the Opposition V D Satheesan has raised concerns over delays in the release of official polling data from the April 9 elections, urging the Election Commission of India to publish constituency-wise figures promptly to ensure transparency.
