Social media has once again become the main battlefield in the politics of West Bengal before the elections. The series of allegations and counter-allegations between Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Trinamool Congress (TMC) has intensified. The statements issued from the official social media handles of both the parties have further heated up the political atmosphere, giving a clear indication that the 2026 assembly elections will bear more fruit.
In its post, BJP made serious allegations against the state government and said that steal jobs, get tickets, steal ration, get tickets, insult Hindus, get tickets, insult tribals, get tickets but not for long. This oppressive regime will be democratically overthrown in 46 days. This statement directly brings into focus the issues of governance and corruption as an election strategy.
BJP accused of increasing communal tension
In the same sequence, BJP in another post accused Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of increasing communal tension. The party wrote, “Like people live together. Mamata Banerjee has threatened Hindus with a deadline, just like Akbaruddin Owaisi did, but we know that BJP never compromises on the issue of communal harmony. The end of communalism is near in Bengal.” This statement shows that BJP wants to center the election discussion around religious and identity based politics.
The message is clear:
👉Steal Jobs, get a ticket
👉Steal Rations, get a ticket
👉Insult Hindus, get a ticket
👉Insult Adivasis, get a ticketBut not for much longer. In 46 days this oppressive regime will be toppled democratically! Because #PaltanoDorkarChaiBJPSorkar pic.twitter.com/6c3lYlyl1i

At the same time, Trinamool Congress also hit back and accused BJP of giving priority to people with criminal background in ticket distribution. The party said, “BJP is distributing tickets as if criminal record is the only qualification. Bengal knows better. The decision in 2026 will be loud and clear.” It is clear from this statement that TMC wants to make the issue of corruption and candidate selection a weapon against BJP.
TMC attacks on incidents in Maharashtra-UP
Not only Bengal, the issue of women’s safety has also become a major basis for political attacks. TMC targeted BJP governments citing alleged incidents in Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. The party said, “Women’s lives are under constant attack in BJP-ruled states. There was a horrific incident of acid attack on a 13-year-old student, but the silence of the leaders who raised the slogan of ‘Beti Bachao’ raises questions.” This allegation is being seen as an attempt to make women’s safety and law and order a central issue in the election strategy.

Referring to the incident in Uttar Pradesh, TMC said in another post, “A four-year-old girl was kidnapped by luring her with chocolate, she was raped and then murdered. Daughters are not safe in BJP ruled states.” Such statements seem to be designed to have an impact on both emotional and political levels.

Allegations and counter-allegations will intensify
Political analysts believe that such sharp attacks on social media are part of the upcoming election strategy. On the one hand, this provides energy to the party workers and on the other hand, it sharpens the issues among the voters. Before the 2026 assembly elections, Bengal politics is no longer limited to just rallies and meetings. This ongoing war on digital platforms indicates that allegations and counter-allegations will intensify in the coming months.
The real question in this electoral battle will be whether this political noise from social media will influence the voters’ decision, or will the issues of development and governance on the ground decide the final outcome.
