In the second phase of the West Bengal assembly elections, approximately 32.1 million voters are set to cast their votes for 1,448 candidates across 142 constituencies. This phase is particularly significant as it includes areas traditionally dominated by the Trinamool Congress (TMC). The first phase, which took place on April 23, saw 152 constituencies voting. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has been actively campaigning, holding 111 rallies across the state, while opposition leaders, including Suvendu Adhikari, have also been vocal in their challenges. Political tensions have escalated, with reports of clashes between the TMC and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and over ₹500 crore worth of cash, liquor, and jewelry seized since the election announcement. The Election Commission is focused on ensuring a free and fair election process, with enhanced preparations compared to the first phase. Votes for all five regions, including Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Assam, and Puducherry, will be counted on May 4.
