The second phase of polling in West Bengal concluded with a record voter turnout of approximately 92.9%, prompting the Phalodi satta bazar to revise its projections for the ongoing elections. Initially, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) was expected to lead with around 158-161 seats, but the latest estimates now indicate that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is projected to win 150-152 seats, while the TMC may secure 137-140 seats. The majority mark required to form a government in the state stands at 148 seats. Exit polls have further reinforced this shift, with major agencies projecting a significant surge for the BJP, suggesting it may cross the majority mark for the first time in the 294-member Assembly. However, projections vary, with some polls indicating a potential comeback for the TMC, making the contest highly competitive. The stakes are high for Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who aims to retain her stronghold after a dominant victory in 2021, while the BJP seeks to capitalize on its growing base in the state. Overall, the revised projections and split exit polls indicate that West Bengal could witness one of its most closely contested electoral outcomes in recent years, though the final verdict will only be determined once the votes are counted.
