For the last 15 years, it was the all India Trinamool Congress that was leading the political race in West Bengal with the firebrand female chief minister Mamata Banerjee at the helm.
Mamata Banerjee had been one of the toughest opponents of the Narendra Modi and Amit Shah led NDA government at the Centre. So it was always the aspiration of the BJP to capture the West Bengal segment.
Accordingly, both Narendra Modi and Amit Shah extremely hard to secure the West Bengal assembly election as the campaign here multiple times.
These efforts are paying off now as the BJP has emerged as the single biggest party in West Bengal by leading in 148+ Assembly seats. Trinamool Congress has been restricted to 102 seats as of now.
After 15 years of outright nomination of the Trinamool Congress party in West Bengal, the state is finally witnessing the orange wave as BJP has captured the state assembly polls by breaching the magic figure.
Several contributing factors like the illegal immigration from Bangladesh and social security have been working against the Trinamool Congress in West Bengal and they’ve converted to a BJP wave now.
BJP has created history in Bengal by crossing the magic figure and is now set to rule the West Bengal state for the first time and its history.
