Mamata Banerjee on Thursday set an ambitious goal of winning more than 215 of the total 294 seats in the state assembly in the 2026 polls, emphasising that the TMC would work to significantly reduce the BJP's tally and secure a fourth consecutive term in power. Setting the tone for the electoral battle, Banerjee reiterated the need to surpass the 213 seats won by her party in 2021.

«I agree with Abhishek (TMC MP and her nephew Abhishek Banerjee) that we should aim for at least one more seat than our 2021 tally. Our goal should be to secure 215 seats or more while ensuring that BJP, CPIM, and Congress candidates struggle to retain their deposits,» Banerjee asserted.
Addressing an organisational meeting of the Trinamool Congress before the chief minister, the MP said the party should work for winning at least one additional seat than the current strength.
Responding to Mamata Banerjee's statement, BJP MP Samik Bhattacharya claimed that she is afraid of losing the 2026 assembly polls and is saying such things to galvanize TMC workers.
The BJP had secured 77 seats in the 2021 elections.
