why-mamata-banerjee-has-not-resigned-as-west-bengal-chief-minister-yet
While both Pinarayi Vijayan and M.K. Stalin resigned from their chief ministerial posts, Mamata Banerjee is yet to hand in her resignation letter after her defeat at the 2026 Assembly elections. Local reports are speculating the reason why Mamata hasn't handed in her resignation immediately after the results on Monday confirmed the partys defeat. The party head is now officially the former Chief Minister of West Bengal. In March 2026, Banerjee had resigned from over 20 posts she held as the chief minister of the state, including State Health Mission head society of Health and Demographic Surveillance chairperson, ahead of the assembly elections. When Banerjee won the elections in 2011, former Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya resigned from the post of Chief Minister on the day of counting and declaration of results. Many expected the same from the TMC chief. However, Banerjee instead left for the counting centre at Shekhawat. She also accused the EC of saying votes were looted and claimed that the BJPs victory was unjust and that about 100 seats were stolen. Mamata reiterated her stance on Tuesday saying that her fight was with the poll body and not against the BJP. She also maintains that the TMC did not truly lose the elections and in a defying statement said that she will not resign. She also said that the TMC would continue to challenge what it sees as an unfair process, ABP reported. Political critics have already raised questions asking if Banerjee is planning to take another path and maybe approach the court regarding her complaints. However, it is impossible to tell if any action will be taken by the Raj Bhavan if she does not resign as per procedure. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan submitted his resignation to Governer Rajendra V Arlekar just hours after the CPI(M) lost the elections to the UDF in Kerala. The letter ended the Vjayans decade-long tenure as the longest-serving Chief Minister in the state. DMK President M.K. Stalin also resigned as Chief Minister on Tuesday after the results, by sending a letter to Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar at the Raj Bhavan. They were requested to continue in office till new arrangements have been made.
how-revanth-reddys-kerala-assembly-poll-campaign-energised-udf
In the 2026 Kerala Assembly elections, the Congress-led UDF emerged victorious, dislodging the two-term LDF government. Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy played a key role in the Congresss campaign against incumbent Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. His energetic rallies and sharp social media exchanges with Vijayan generated significant buzz across the state. Vijayan had made history as the first chief minister to lead the LDF to a second term in power in Kerala in 2021. He was by no means an easy opponent, yet this time the UDF was widely expected to wrest power. Revanth Reddys vigorous campaigning in April appears to have stolen thunder from the LDF. He focused on key issues such as industrial stagnation, youth unemployment, and brain drain, while positioning the Congresss development model as a strong alternative. Through roadshows and speeches, he highlighted Telanganas achievements, presenting them as a practical blueprint for employment generation and infrastructure growth. The Telangana leaders direct and combative style in the campaign stood out. He famously deployed the popular Malayalam film dialogue Nee Po Mone, seeking the ouster of Vijayan, a remark that resonated strongly with crowds and went viral on social media. In response, Vijayan hit back on social media, dismissing Revanths comments as unwarranted interference by an outsider and questioning the relevance of the Telangana model in Keralas unique socio-political context. While these sharp barbs intensified the campaign rhetoric, they also highlighted Revanth Reddys readiness to challenge established narratives. He publicly invited Vijayan to a debate on governance and urged him to draw lessons from the Telangana Model rather than relying on outdated statistics. At the UDF victory celebrations held in Hyderabad, Telangana Congress president B. Mahesh Kumar Goud credited Revanth Reddys intervention with amplifying the UDFs message in key constituencies and influencing voters. He noted that showcasing Telanganas governance and welfare schemes had a noticeable impact, encouraging the electorate to move away from a decade of LDF rule. This no-holds-barred approach could well serve as a template for the Telangana chief minister in future campaigns.

Advocate Fathima Thahiliya created history in the 2026 Kerala Assembly elections by becoming the first woman from the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) ever to win a seat in the state legislature. In a stunning upset, she successfully captured the Perambra constituencya long-standing stronghold of the Leftby defeating the LDF candidate and convenor, T.P. Ramakrishnan. With a huge blow to the LDF, she registered a historic victory by a margin of 5,087, garnering 81,429 votes. In 2021, senior CPI(M) leader Ramakrishnan won the seat by a margin of over 22,000 votes. Thahiliya's win signals a significant shift in voter sentiment in the Malabar region. Her win also gives hope to young Muslim women and could even be a turning point for IUML's women candidates in the future. Historically, the IUML's attempts to field female candidates were both rare and unsuccessful. Before 2026, the party had nominated only two womenone in 1996 and another in 2021both of whom lost their respective contests. From student politics in the Muslim Students Federation to becoming the founding state president of Haritha, the womens wing of the Muslim Students Federation, Fathima built her political identity by voicing her opinions fiercely and fighting for gender equality. Since 2012, she has been active in politics. Leveraging her strong social media presence, she actively engaged with elderly voters throughout the campaign, discussing welfare schemes and addressing livelihood concerns. On March 31, Rahul Gandhi reached Perambra to campaign for her. A postgraduate in law from the government law college of Thrissur, Thahiliya practices at the Kozhikode district court. She was elected as a councillor from the Kuttichira ward in the Kozhikode Municipal Corporation in 2020. A champion for social reform, she campaigned against child marriage and advocated for women's agency. She consistently opposed the vilification of the hijab, defending it as a matter of identity, and fought for right to education for Muslim women. While senior leaders questioned her relative lack of experience, she remained undeterred, dismissing their scepticism to champion her own strong convictions. Earlier, IUML had expelled her from the post of the national vice-president of the MSF. She accused senior MSF leaders of using inappropriate language, who, according to her, also attempted to silence and intimidate women on multiple occasions. The group of women led by Thahiliya had also approached the State Womens Commission with a formal complaint in August 2021.
