West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, 71, seeks a fourth term with a core group of women leaders. The TMC has allocated up to 40% of election tickets to women, the highest among major parties. Key female leaders include Shashi Panja (Industries Minister), Chandrima Bhattacharya (Finance MoS), Mahua Moitra (MP), and others. Mamata has implemented women-focused schemes like Kanyashree Prakalpa and Lakshmir Bhandar, establishing herself as the only woman leading a party and government independently in India.
