Kolkata: The TMC put up a spectacular show with a landslide victory in the West Bengal assembly elections, defeating the might of the BJP after a bitter campaign winning by over 215 seats out of the 292 constituencies which had gone to the polls. Polling was countermanded in two counstituencies after the candidates fell victim to Covid.
"It's a victory for Bengal's people it's
`Banglar joy' (Bengal's victory)," Banerjee told her party workers, though
she herself lost to the BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari in Nandigram by 1736 votes.
Banerjee, who is set to be chief minister for a
third term, urged her party workers not to take out victory processions in the
wake of the worsening Corona situation in the state and indicated that her
first priority would be to combat Corona. She thanked "the people for saving the country, for saving communal
harmony.
With 77 seats the BJP is now the biggest opposition party in the state with the
Left Front and the Congress as the biggest
losers drawing a complete blank.
