Mamata Banerjee leading by over 3800 votes in Bhabanipur

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee leads by 3,830 votes in Bhabanipur. BJP sweeps state with 204 seats, while Trinamool Congress wins 22.

"BJP is on course for a sweeping victory in West Bengal - Election Commission data"

Kolkata, May 4

West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress candidate has a narrow lead of 3830 votes over her rival and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari in the Bhabanipur constituency at the end of 14 rounds of counting.

According to the latest Election Commission data, Mamata Banerjee has so far polled 48,671 votes.

BJP is on course for a sweeping victory in West Bengal and is leading or has won 204 seats. The party has won 53 seats and is leading on 151.

Trinamool Congress has won 22 seats and is leading on 61.

BJP's expected victory in West Bengal will mark a significant moment for the party as it had been for long a marginal player in the state dominated for years by the Congress, Left parties and later Trinamool Congress. It is also home state of BJP's ideologue Syama Prasad Mookerji.

The BJP had won 77 seats in the last assembly polls. The poll results reflect the BJP's steadfast approach and its concerted campaign during which it amplified every issue on which it could target the ruling Trinamool Congress. BJP also outdid the Trinamool Congress in terms of promises for various sections of society, as election saw a lot of heat and dust over the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.

Trinamool Congress has been in power in West Bengal for 15 years.

Congress continued its dismal performance in Bengal and is poised to win two seats. The Aam Janata Unnayan Party (AJUP) has won two seats, and All India Secular Front and CPI-M are leading on one seat each.

Honestly, this is a massive mandate for BJP in Bengal. From 77 seats to 204 is no joke. But I hope the new government focuses on real issues like employment and infrastructure, not just political vendetta. Bengal needs stability, not more chaos. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Interesting to see how Bengal's political landscape is shifting. Mamata Banerjee winning her seat but her party losing the state - that's a mixed signal. The BJP's national strategy of focusing on local issues like electoral rolls and promises seems to have worked here. But 15 years of TMC rule ended, so change was inevitable.

BJP ka yeh performance Bengal mein actually surprising hai for many. But I think people were tired of the same old faces and corruption allegations. Didi should learn from this - being a strong leader is good, but listening to the people is crucial. Let's see how the new CM performs. Fingers crossed! 🤞

Congress ka performance toh pathetic hai as usual. Only 2 seats?! They've become irrelevant in Bengal. At least TMC gave some fight. But BJP's growth is remarkable - from marginal player to dominant force. Though I worry about polarization, hope development takes center stage now. Bengal deserves better infrastructure and jobs.

As someone watching from outside India, this is fascinating. Bengal has always been culturally unique and politically complex. BJP breaking through there is a big deal. But Mamata winning her seat shows she still has personal popularity. The real test will be governance - can BJP deliver
