Dum Dum Election Results 2026: BJP's Arijit Bakshi enjoys a lead over BJP's Bratya Basu by a margin of 19456 votes as of 5 pm on Monday, who has been a sitting MLA since 2011. Basu defeated CPI(M)’s Gautam Deb by a large margin in 2011, saw a tighter contest against Palash Das in 2016, and expanded his lead again in 2021 against BJP’s Bimal Shankar Nanda. 

After 2019, the BJP emerged as the principal challenger, replacing the CPI(M). The party has remained competitive in Lok Sabha elections, though Trinamool has retained a modest but consistent edge.

Dum Dum, a prominent locality in Kolkata, was long considered a bastion of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), but its political landscape shifted over time. The Trinamool Congress first broke through in 2001 and has since consolidated its position, winning four times overall and remaining unbeaten since 2011.

No Need To Feel Disheartened: Mamata After BJP Leads In Majority Seats in Bengal

Dum Dum Election Results 2026 LIVE: TMC candidate from Bhabanipur and West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee says, "Counting agents and candidates should not leave the counting centre. This is the BJP's plan, I have been saying this since yesterday that they will be shown ahead first. They have stopped counting at many places. Such machines have been found in Kalyani, where there is no match; atrocities are being committed against TMC from all sides through central forces. Through SIR, they tried to steal votes, and even now, we are ahead by more than 100 seats, which is not being reported. Everything is being reported wrong. The Election Commission is working entirely as per its own will, and central forces are also with them. The police are also working with the central forces. I tell party workers that there is no need to feel disheartened; you will win after sunset. The counting of 2-4 rounds has taken place, the counting goes up to 14-18 rounds, and we will win. There is no need for anyone to be afraid."
