Dilip Ghosh Slams TMC Over Law and Order, Claims BJP Set for Victory in Bengal

May 4, 2026

Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Dilip Ghosh on Monday mounted a strong attack on the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC), alleging that law and order had completely deteriorated in West Bengal under its administration. Speaking to reporters as counting of votes began for the state elections, Ghosh claimed that “law and order didn’t even exist in Bengal” during the TMC’s tenure and asserted that the BJP was poised to emerge victorious in the electoral contest.

Claims Public Frustration Against State Government

Ghosh said the people of West Bengal had grown increasingly frustrated with what he described as the TMC government’s failure to maintain governance, control political violence, and ensure public safety. He claimed that widespread dissatisfaction among voters would translate into electoral gains for the BJP as counting progressed.

BJP Confident of Improved Performance

Expressing confidence in his party’s prospects, the BJP leader stated that the opposition had worked extensively across the state to present itself as a viable alternative and had received strong support from the electorate. He added that the BJP expected a significant improvement in its performance compared to previous elections.

High Stakes in Bengal Election Battle

The remarks come amid heightened political tension in West Bengal, where the BJP and TMC have engaged in an intense battle for dominance. With counting underway across multiple centres under tight security, early trends are being closely monitored by party workers and political observers alike.

Political Significance of the Results

The outcome of the election is expected to have major implications for the state’s political landscape, with both parties projecting confidence in their respective performances.
