West Bengal is undergoing elections for its 294-seat assembly. The process is divided into multiple phases, with Phase 1 having concluded and Phase 2 (covering crucial strongholds) and the final phase pending.
West Bengal is drawing significant attention as results for the election, the largest among the five states that went to polls, are set to be announced on May 4. The final phase of voting is still pending.
All eyes are on the exit polls, which will begin releasing projections from the evening of April 29, as per Election Commission rules. Projections will be released after 6:30 pm on April 29.
Following a record voter turnout of nearly 93% in Phase 1, the state is now heading into Phase 2. This phase involves voting for 142 seats, many of which are considered strongholds of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. However, the BJP, currently the main opposition, is actively trying to gain ground in these regions.
Phase 2 covers the remaining constituencies of the 294-seat assembly and is considered a crucial round.
One of the most closely watched seats in this phase is Bhabanipur, Mamata Banerjee's traditional stronghold. She faces a significant challenge from prominent BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari.
Voting for Phase 1 took place on April 23 in 152 constituencies, recording very high participation across all regions. This has heightened the excitement and curiosity surrounding the final election results.
Key leaders contesting include Mamata Banerjee, Chandrima Bhattacharya, Shashi Panja, and Aroop Biswas from the TMC. The BJP has fielded leaders such as Suvendu Adhikari, Swapan Dasgupta, and Rupa Ganguly.
