Mamata Banerjee: From Political Powerhouse to Battle for Resurgence

Mamata Banerjee's political narrative has faced a dramatic reversal. The leader, who transformed West Bengal's political scene and ruled the state for 15 years, has suffered a double blow: losing both the state and her safe seat, Bhabanipur.

Her party, the Trinamool Congress, unified under her leadership, is confronting an existential crisis after the BJP seized power with a commanding two-thirds majority.

As Banerjee grapples with this setback, she must consider a reinvention to recapture her influence, both within her party and in national opposition politics.
