Close Fight or One-Sided Win? Ruchir Sharma Breaks Down Bengal Poll Battle

While there is clear evidence of the gap narrowing between the BJP and TMC, Sharma cautions against jumping to conclusions. Historically, West Bengal elections tend to deliver decisive mandates rather than close finishes-but as past examples from states like Tamil Nadu show, political trends can always surprise.
