Out of 35 ministers from the TMC government who contested the 2026 West Bengal elections, 22 have been defeated, including Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee herself in her own constituency.
A staggering 63% of the cabinet could not win their own seats. Ministers handling critical portfolios such as women and child development, industry, housing, power, education, transport and backward classes were among those who lost in the BJP wave that swept the state.
