Over $2 million has been wagered on the outcome of the West Bengal Assembly elections on Polymarket, a US-based prediction platform, making it the most actively traded Indian state poll. Currently, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is perceived to have a 52% chance of winning, while Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress (TMC) is close behind at 47%. This surge in betting activity indicates a high level of uncertainty among traders, reflecting the competitive nature of the elections. The prediction market operates differently from traditional opinion polls, as participants stake real money on their expectations, resulting in fluctuating prices that indicate perceived probabilities of outcomes. Despite the ban on prediction markets in India under the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act (PROGA), interest remains high among international bettors. The first phase of polling includes 1,478 candidates across 152 constituencies, with voting expected to draw significant turnout from the 3.6 crore eligible voters. The elections are closely watched due to local issues like employment and governance, which are expected to influence voter decisions.
