The BJP won 66 seats in the 294-member West Bengal assembly and was leading in 138 constituencies, while the TMC bagged 30 and was ahead in 53.

Dressed in a traditional dhoti-kurta, PM Modi on Monday hailed the BJP’s sweeping victory in West Bengal, calling it a triumph of “democracy and constitutional bodies,” and framing the verdict as a mandate for governance-driven politics.
