Subrata Bakshi Hospitalized: TMC State President Under Observation After Serious Fall

 Sanchita chatterjee,Kolkata, May 12, 2026 — Senior Trinamool Congress leader Subrata Bakshi, 70, was rushed to a private hospital in Kolkata on Monday after sustaining a serious head injury from a fall at his residence, according to party sources.


The incident reportedly occurred early morning in his bathroom, resulting in significant head trauma. Medical assessments including a CT scan revealed internal haemorrhage and blood clotting. He is currently under close medical supervision.


Surgeons are considering an operation within the next 24 hours while also examining whether a stroke preceded the fall. As of now, no official medical bulletin has been released by the hospital.


What Happened to Subrata Bakshi

According to initial reports, Bakshi fell in his bathroom early Monday morning. Party insiders say the injury led to immediate medical attention and hospitalization. The news spread quickly through political circles, with several TMC leaders enquiring about his health condition throughout the day.


Current Health Condition and Treatment

Medical teams are monitoring Bakshi closely following the detection of blood clotting in his brain. While no official statement has been issued yet, sources indicate that the next 24 hours are critical for his recovery. The possibility of surgical intervention is being evaluated by the medical team.


Political Significance of Subrata Bakshi in TMC

Subrata Bakshi is considered one of the key organizational pillars of the Trinamool Congress and a close associate of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. He has been serving as the TMC state president and is currently a Rajya Sabha MP from South Kolkata.


With the 2026 West Bengal Assembly Elections approaching, Bakshi’s role in party organization and coordination has become increasingly important. His absence could impact TMC’s ground-level operations across the state.


Subrata Bakshi Political Career Background

Bakshi began his political journey with the Congress party’s student wing, Chhatra Parishad. He joined TMC when Mamata Banerjee founded the party in 1998, quitting his job at a nationalized bank to become a full-time party worker.


He won the Bhabanipur Assembly seat in 2011. Later, when Mamata Banerjee needed to contest from Bhabanipur, Bakshi vacated the seat for her without hesitation — a move seen as a sign of his loyalty to the party leadership. He was subsequently elected to the Lok Sabha from South Kolkata and now serves in the Rajya Sabha.


What’s Next

Party workers and political observers across West Bengal are closely monitoring Bakshi’s condition. No official update has been released by either the hospital or the TMC leadership as of Monday evening.
