As early trends for the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections indicate a significant lead for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), party workers in Siliguri gathered on Monday to celebrate. In a symbolic gesture, supporters were seen distributing and eating Jhalmuri, the state’s staple street snack, at local party offices and major intersections. The choice of celebration carries political weight, echoing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the region during the campaign. During his trail in North Bengal, the Prime Minister had famously paused his convoy to enjoy Jhalmuri from a roadside vendor, a moment that went viral on social media. Currently, the BJP has crossed the 148-seat majority mark in early counting, leading in over 170 constituencies. In Siliguri, upbeat workers described the snack-sharing as a tribute to the Prime Minister’s "soil-of-the-earth" connect. While official results are still being finalized by the Election Commission, the atmosphere in North Bengal remains charged with saffron celebrations. Who Will Win West Bengal Election 2026?
