The Congress Party was popular in West Bengal from the beginning till the late 1970s. The party was voted out of power in 1977 due to the Emergency. After that, they played the role of the opposition during the Left Front regime. The party suffered a big blow when Mamata Banerjee left the Congress and founded the breakaway party of Trinamool Congress (TMC) in 1998. This led to exodus of the party members to the TMC and demise of the Congress Party in West Bengal. The party further declined due to the rise of the Bharatiya Janata Party in West Bengal in the mid 2010s, relegating the party to a mere fourth-party status in the state. In the Legislative Assembly election in 2021, the party drew blank for the first time and failed to win a single seat in the assembly.
