### Exit Polls Suggest BJP Lead in West Bengal After Final Round of Lok Sabha Voting

 

As the final phase of voting concludes in the Indian Lok Sabha elections, exit polls indicate a significant lead for Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in West Bengal. According to various boothferat surveys, BJP is set to gain the most seats in the state.

The exit poll conducted by 'ABP Anand and C-voters' suggests that BJP could win between 23 to 27 seats out of the total 42 Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal. In comparison, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress (TMC) is projected to secure 13 to 17 seats. The Left-Congress alliance is expected to garner between one to three seats.

Another survey by 'TV-9' predicts a slightly different outcome, with BJP projected to win 20 seats and Trinamool Congress expected to win 21 seats. This survey allocates one seat to the Congress and none to the Left party.

Both BJP and Trinamool Congress have dismissed the exit poll results. Trinamool Congress has claimed that the surveys are inaccurate and expressed confidence in winning a higher number of seats. Similarly, BJP has stated they expect to win at least 30 seats, emphasizing their confidence in a strong performance.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Trinamool Congress won 22 seats, BJP secured 18 seats, and Congress won 2 seats. The Left party did not win any seats. This year's exit polls indicate a potential shift in the political landscape of West Bengal.

The final phase of voting on Saturday saw heightened election violence, with Trinamool Congress being accused of intimidating voters at various centers. Despite the turmoil, both major parties remain optimistic about their performance.

With the exit polls now in, all eyes are on the final election results to be announced soon. The outcome will determine whether BJP can make significant inroads in West Bengal or if Trinamool Congress will maintain its dominance.

The political dynamics in West Bengal remain fluid, and the actual results could either validate or refute the predictions made by the exit polls, shaping the future of the state's governance.
