Kurseong BJP MLA Bishnu Prasad Sharma switched to Trinamool Congress on Feb. 19, 2026, citing unmet Gorkhaland demands and neglect of North Bengal, reducing BJP’s seat count to 64 ahead of West Bengal Assembly elections.
Kurseong BJP MLA Bishnu Prasad Sharma joined the Trinamool Congress on February 19, 2026, citing the BJP’s failure to deliver on Gorkhaland demands and neglect of North Bengal development.
His switch, ahead of the West Bengal Assembly elections, marks a setback for the BJP, reducing its MLA count to 64.
Sharma, who ran as an independent in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, said he was disillusioned by the BJP’s inaction and drawn to the TMC’s development focus.
The TMC welcomed him, highlighting his grassroots ties, while BJP leaders downplayed the impact, asserting they will win Kurseong decisively.
Meanwhile, the BJP launched a public outreach campaign to gather input for its manifesto, aiming to collect over 5 lakh suggestions by late February.
