The Bharatiya Janata Party has swept the West Bengal by-elections, securing victories in both Nandigram and the Muslim-majority constituency of Rejinagar. In Nandigram, considered Suvendu Adhikari's stronghold, BJP candidate Hasi Rani Rath, the mother of his slain aide Chandan Rath, registered a victory to extend the party's winning run. Meanwhile, the saffron party also triumphed in Rejinagar, a minority-dominated seat that had previously backed Humayun Kabir. The dual victories deliver fresh political momentum to the BJP against rival Trinamool Congress factions amid shifting electoral equations and political realignments across the state.

00:47The BJP has swept both seats.
00:57But these victories come against the backdrop of controversy,
01:01political realignments and a change of regime in Bengal.
01:08Take Nandi Graham.
01:09For a decade, this constituency has become synonymous with one name,
01:14Suvindu Adhikari.
01:20In 2016, he won the seat as a TMC candidate.
01:23In 2021, he switched sides, led the BJP to victory
01:28and defeated Mamata Banerjee in one of Bengal's most high-profile electoral battles.
01:35In 2026, he retained the seat for the BJP.
01:39And now, in the bipole, the BJP has fielded a candidate
01:42with a deeply personal connection to Suvindu Adhikari's political journey.
01:47Haasi Rani Rat, the mother of his slain age, Chandan Rat.

02:26Reji Nagar too has gone saffron and this is a constituency where the political
02:31stakes were particularly high. A Muslim majority seat, Reji Nagar had backed
02:41Umayyum Kabir in the assembly elections earlier this year. This time the BJP has
02:47emerged victorious, a result that puts the spotlight on the shifting electoral
02:52Equations in a minority-dominated constituency.
