On April 9, 2026, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) accused Humayun Kabir, the chief of the Aam Janata Unnyan Party (AJUP), of receiving ₹1,000 crore (approximately $120 million USD) from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to mislead Muslim voters in West Bengal. The TMC released a video from December 19, 2025, featuring a conversation between Kabir and an unidentified individual, where Kabir allegedly discussed a covert agreement with BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari. In this conversation, Kabir suggested that if he secured 70-80 seats and the BJP obtained 100-120 seats in the upcoming Assembly polls, he would support the BJP in forming the government and be appointed Deputy Chief Minister. Kabir has firmly denied these allegations, labeling them as unfounded and politically motivated. This incident highlights the ongoing political tensions and strategies in West Bengal as the Assembly elections approach.
