West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026 Highlights | West Bengal registers record turnout of 92.47 per cent in two-phased polls
This blog is closed now. As West Bengal votes in the second and final phase of the assembly elections today, all eyes will be on whether the BJP can break into Mamata Banerjee-led TMC's fortress of the south. The 142 seats mainly comprise of TMC's home turf - Kolkata, Howrah, North and South 24 Parganas, Nadia, Hooghly and Purba Bardhaman. Bhabanipur remains the hot seat, Mamata's constituency and her home ground, literally and figuratively, where she is being challenged by her aide turned bête noire Suvendu Adhikari, also widely seen as saffron party's pick as CM, if the tides turn and the BJP manage to win the state. Thanks for staying with us.
