West Bengal Phase 2 Voting: High Turnout Transforms TMC Strongholds Into Battleground

The second phase of West Bengal assembly elections kicks off in seven districts that have traditionally been TMC strongholds, with the unprecedented 93% voter turnout from phase one adding a new dimension to electoral calculations. Kolkata, North and South 24 Parganas, Nadia, Howrah, Hooghly and East Burdwan—where TMC won 123 of 142 seats in 2021—now face a three-way contest between the ruling Trinamool, BJP and ISF, with both parties scrambling to interpret what record turnout means for their electoral prospects.
