West Bengal Assembly Elections 202 LIVE: The counting of votes for the most-anticipated West Bengal Assembly Elections will begin shortly. This time, the Trinamool Congress faces its most direct challenge yet again from the Bharatiya Janata Party, turning the election into a contest not just of numbers, but of organisation, cadre strength, identity politics and welfare delivery.
Face of Bengal BJP Suvendu Adhikari has predicted that the saffron party will win 125 of the 152 seats that went to polls in the first phase of the West Bengal elections, citing high voter turnout of 91.78 per cent. Speaking to reporters after the conclusion of polling in the first phase, the leader of the opposition and BJP candidate from Nandigram and Bhabanipur seats expressed confidence that the party is set for a decisive mandate in the 2026 assembly polls.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, on the other hand, said expressed confidence that her party Trinamool Congress (TMC) will emerge victorious in the assembly elections by securing more than 200 seats in the state. Addressing the counting agents via video conferencing, she dismissed the exit poll projections and recognised them as an attempt to ‘manipulate the stock market.’
