The TMC is way ahead of the BJP as the official trends indicate a landslide victory for the TMC.

The West Bengal Assembly election 2021 result will be declared today (May 2) as the counting of votes begins at 8 am.

Despite the election, held amid a raging Covid-19 pandemic, dragging on for over a month, voter enthusiasm hardly showed any sign of waning. In one of the most gruelling and arguably the most bitterly fought polls in a long time, an estimated around 80 per cent of over 84.77 lakh voters exercised their franchise in Bengal.
