The Bengal BJP has released a list of 43 properties reportedly connected to TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee, along with other assets jointly owned with his aides and family members. Sources revealed that the BJP government would launch a detailed investigation into the ownership details. The decision followed a day after the TMC-controlled Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) issued notices to 17 properties linked with Mamata Banerjee's nephew. However, the Trinamool Congress marked the list as false, denying its authenticity. Particular attention has centred on a jointly owned property linked to one “Sayani Ghosh”, with several social media users speculating that it refers to Jadavpur MP Saayoni Ghosh. The property listed in the document is located at 19D, Seven Tanks Lane. In response, the Lok Sabha MP Saayoni Ghosh denied any connection to it. "I can't say who it is, but it's definitely not the Saayoni Ghosh who started from a humble background with no windfall profits made from politics to date. For those trying to defame me without any evidence - stop now!" Ghosh said on X. "Please know, I won't budge an inch, I won't let it pass. Legal action will be taken for spreading fake news. This 'Ghosh' won't be bullied," she further said.&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/j-k-police-demolishes-illegal-narcotics-property-worth-1-5-crore-linked-to-wanted-drug-peddler-in-srinagar-1779273251347">J&amp;K Police demolishes illegal narcotics property worth ₹1.5 crore linked to wanted drug peddler in Srinagar</a><h3>Abhishek Banerjee's 43 properties</h3>The released list revealed that the 43 properties located in Kolkata are either under joint ownership or in the name of Abhishek Banerjee. However, it doesn't specify whether it is the Diamond Harbour MP, and the mobile numbers of the owners are also listed. The list was reportedly extracted from the Kolkata Municipal Corporation database. Significantly, the civic body remains under Trinamool Congress control, with Firhad Hakim continuing as mayor of Kolkata. Sources indicated that the BJP government plans to investigate the actual ownership of the properties, the source of funds used to acquire them, and any possible irregularities linked to the transactions. In his affidavit submitted to the Election Commission before the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, Abhishek Banerjee disclosed movable assets worth Rs 2.3 crore, liabilities of Rs 36 lakh, and an annual income of Rs 1.4 crore. The Trinamool Congress claimed the document being circulated was part of a larger political campaign against the party after its historic poll victory. "Any journalist with a basic sense of ethics and understanding can visit the mentioned addresses or call the numbers cited in the said notice to verify the facts rather than merely propagating narratives being fed by the BJP," the party said in a statement. The latest row erupted a day after the Kolkata Municipal Corporation served notices to 17 properties associated with Abhishek Banerjee over alleged illegal construction. One of the addresses listed 'Shantiniketan' on Harish Mukherjee Road, the MP's residence. The Trinamool-run civic body sought records of sanctioned building plans and information regarding installations like lifts and escalators, while directing that any unauthorised structures be removed within seven days. Stepping up his attack, Suvendu Adhikari on Tuesday asserted that the government would jail “all corrupt individuals”. He also claimed that 14 properties belonging to Abhishek were registered under his firm, Leaps and Bounds.

West Bengal governor RN Ravi on Thursday dissolved the state assembly after the term of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly ended on May 7, bringing an end to 15 years of Trinamool Congress rule in the state. With this move, TMC leader Mamata Banerjee is no longer the state's chief minister, despite her refusal to step down.&nbsp;"In exercise of the powers conferred upon the Governor under sub-clause (b) of Clause (2) of Article 174 of the Constitution of India, Hon'ble Governor of West Bengal, Shri R. N. Ravi, has issued an Order dissolving the West Bengal Legislative Assembly with effect from 07 May 2026. The Order has come into force in accordance with the constitutional provisions contained under Article 174(2)(b) of the Constitution of India," a press release from Lok Bhavan, West Bengal read.

The move follows a decisive mandate in which the BJP won 207 seats with a 45.84% vote share, while the Trinamool Congress was reduced to 80 seats with 40.8%. TMC chief Mamata Banerjee refused to resign a day after results were declared, saying she would neither vacate the Chief Minister's post nor submit her resignation to the Governor.&nbsp;"I will not resign, I did not lose, I will not go to Raj Bhavan...The question doesn't arise. We didn't lose the election. It is their attempt to defeat us. Officially, through the Election Commission, they can defeat us, but morally, we won the election," the 71-year-old leader said.&nbsp;Banerjee directly targeted the Chief Election Commissioner, alleging bias. "The CEC became the villain of this election, to loot the democratic rights of the people and to loot the EVM," she said, also raising doubts over electronic voting machines. "Can you tell me that after voting, the EVM has an 80–90% charge? How is it possible?" she asked.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/uk-elections-2026-polling-underway-across-england-scotland-and-wales-in-major-political-test-for-starmer-govt-1778156976318">UK elections 2026: Polling underway across England, Scotland and Wales in major political test for Starmer govt</a>&nbsp;She alleged a nexus between the BJP and the Election Commission, claiming direct interference from the central leadership. "It is a battle between the BJP and the Election Commission. PM and HM are also involved, with direct interference," she said.&nbsp;Banerjee further alleged that nearly 90 lakh voter names were deleted from the electoral rolls before polling, with judicial intervention later restoring 32 lakh names. She also claimed IPS and IAS officers were systematically transferred, and TMC workers were arrested ahead of voting. "They played dirty, nasty, and mischievous games. I have never seen this type of election in my life," she said.
