Bengal Governor RN Ravi has dissolved the assembly, officially putting an end to the Trinamool Congress government in the eastern state. This means Mamata Banerjee, who has been hell-bent on not resigning, is no longer the Chief Minister.
The governor used the constitutional powers vested in him under Article 174 (2)(b) of the Constitution of India. "I hereby dissolve the Legislative Assembly of West Bengal with effect from 7th May, 2026," RN Ravi said in the official notice.
