This week on TV Newsance, things have changed dramatically after the elections in West Bengal, but Indian TV news is the same as it was 10 years ago. It is the end of an era as the BJP enters Bengali politics for the first time, but back in school, the race to worship their beloved leader is still going strong.
Meanwhile, we owe you an update: Former Republican journalist Santu Pan won Tarakeshwar by more than 30,000 votes. Yes, you heard right (if you haven’t seen that episode yet, just go back to the previous one).
As post-poll violence shakes Bengal with murders and deaths, and vandalism and celebration of BJP party workers continues, anchors celebrate “kamal ka kamaal” in their studios.
We investigated what really drove the Bengal election results and whether voters were fed up with TMC. We look at how the political landscape has changed between 2019 and 2026 and break down the SIR math. (Read our full data report here).
Watch until the end and tell us: what did you find most interesting?
