West Bengal Election Results | TMC Vs BJP: Who Will Claim West Bengal?

April was election season in four states and one Union Territory - West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam, and Puducherry. The votes will be counted today beginning at 8 am. By the day's end it would be clear which political parties are going to stay or take power. In West Bengal, where people voted for 294 seats, it is a battle between the Trinamool Congress helmed by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The election holds importance for two reasons - first, Bengal has long avoided the BJP. And second, Mamata Banerjee has waged a war against the Election Commission over the voter roll clean-up exercise Special Intensive Revision (SIR) that removed 89 lakh voters - roughly 11.6 per cent of the state's electorate. The figure is slightly more than the winning margin of the Trinamool Congress in 2021
