West Bengal politics could witness another high-stakes showdown as BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari signals a possible challenge to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in her Kolkata stronghold of Bhabanipur. After defeating Mamata in Nandigram in 2021, Suvendu has publicly claimed he can unseat her in her bastion, predicting a margin of 20,000 votes.Mamata Banerjee, however, remains confident, asserting she would win “even if one voter is left” in Bhabanipur. The BJP has already ramped up its groundwork, setting up a war room in Ward 70 and making visible organisational moves across the constituency.The potential face-off between these former allies, now political rivals, has made Bhabanipur the seat to watch in the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections. Analysts say the contest could be as symbolic as it is strategic, reflecting both leadership credibility and the changing political landscape in the state.
