Tanmay Ghosh, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) State General Secretary, expressed strong confidence in the party's prospects in the upcoming West Bengal assembly elections, predicting a victory of 230 to 250 seats. He emphasized that by 11 AM on May 4, no outsiders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, would be present in the state. This statement comes as the second phase of polling approaches on April 29, where voters in 142 assembly constituencies will cast their ballots. The political atmosphere in West Bengal has intensified, with reports of violence and clashes between TMC and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) supporters, particularly in North 24 Parganas. The first phase of polling saw a remarkable 92.35% voter turnout, indicating a highly engaged electorate. The results of the elections will be declared on May 4, alongside those from other states including Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Puducherry.
