Bengal Election Results 2026: Curse of RG Kar & Sandeshkhali? How Bengal’s Women Brought Down TMC

Panelists call this the most impactful election since 2024 as three giants fall, Pinarayi Vijayan’s Left gone, Stalin out in Tamil Nadu, and Mamata Banerjee’s long grip over Bengal broken. They link TMC’s collapse to the “curse” of RG Kar and Sandeshkhali: rage over rape, exploitation and poll violence that turned Bengal’s women against Mamata. From minority consolidation in Kerala to BJP’s weakness in the south and TVK’s rise, the debate tracks a generational and moral shift in Indian politics.
