Union Minister of State and former state BJP president Sukanta Majumdar joined supporters in Balurghat as the party secured leads in over 180 of the 293 seats. In Kolkata, workers gathered outside Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's residence, raising slogans of 'Jai Shri Ram' and expressing confidence in their victory. The atmosphere was charged with enthusiasm as party members distributed sweets and displayed images of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the BJP state headquarters.

Many described the moment as the arrival of 'Ram Rajya' in Bengal, reflecting their belief in the party's governance model. The scenes of jubilation were mirrored in several districts, with party workers taking to the streets to express their joy.
The early trends suggested a strong performance by the BJP, which had mounted an aggressive campaign focusing on issues of governance, development, and cultural identity. The party's lead in over 180 seats indicated a decisive mandate, potentially reshaping the political landscape of West Bengal.
