Political history
The Congress Party was popular in West Bengal from the beginning till the late 1970s. The party was voted out of power in
BJP in West Bengal in the mid 2010s, relegating the party to a mere fourth-party status in the state. In the Legislative Assembly election
in 2021, the party drew blank for the first time and failed to win a single seat in the assembly.
