Reacting to exit polls for the West Bengal Assembly elections, BJP candidate from Nandigram and Bhabanipur, Suvendu Adhikari, on Wednesday, expressed confidence that the party is set for a decisive victory in the state.

He further claimed that voter participation reflected a free and fair electoral environment in several areas. "Hindus have cast their votes freely," Adhikari added.

In their projections via exit polls, the pollsters on Wednesday projected Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) winning West Bengal in the 2026 Assembly elections, whose polling concluded today evening.

The exit poll by Chanakya Strategies has projected 150-160 Assembly seats in the BJP's corner while placing Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) with 130-140 seats of the total 294 Assembly seats in the state.

Suvendu Adhikari is a seasoned politician. If he says 180+, there might be some ground reality. But free and fair? After all the violence in Bengal during elections? 😒

Honestly, I think Bengal needs change. TMC has been in power too long. But 180 seats seems too optimistic. I'd be happy if BJP crosses 100 and puts a check on Mamata.

Interesting to see different exit polls all showing BJP ahead. But in India, exit polls can be notoriously wrong. Remember 2019? Many predicted a hung Parliament for Modi.

As a Bengali, I'll say this: Didi is still very popular among rural voters. The 'free ration' and 'Lakshmir Bhandar' schemes worked wonders. Exit polls might miss that ground reality.

His comment about "Hindus voting freely" is unfortunate. Bengal is not about Hindu vs Muslim. It's about development, jobs, and law & order. Such divisive language doesn't help anyone.

90% voter turnout is fantastic for democracy! Whether BJP wins or TMC, the important thing is that people exercised their right to vote. Counting day will be interesting! 🇮🇳
