This story explores the dramatic political journey of Suvendu Adhikari, once a close aide and trusted leader of Mamata Banerjee and the Trinamool Congress (TMC). From being a key strategist who helped strengthen TMC’s grassroots network, Suvendu eventually broke away from the party amid rising internal differences and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The report traces his transformation from a party loyalist to a fierce political rival who went on to defeat Mamata Banerjee in the 2021 Nandigram election, marking a turning point in West Bengal politics. It also highlights his growing influence within the BJP, his aggressive opposition politics, and his expanding role in reshaping the state’s political landscape ahead of the 2026 elections.
The story further examines the reasons behind his exit from TMC, including internal power struggles, leadership conflicts, and ideological differences, while also presenting contrasting narratives from both TMC and BJP camps.
