As per the latest data released by the Election Commission of India, the BJP has secured 206 seats out of 294 seats in the Assembly. TMC won 80 seats and is currently leading in one for which counting is underway. Did SIR impact the election results?

The TVK, which was launched in 2024, has scripted history after winning 108 of the 234 assembly seats on its electoral debut. This marks a major political shift in the southern state where two Dravidian parties have dominated elections for several decades.

The statement from the US president comes after the BJP, long considered a Hindi heartland party, secured its first-ever victory in West Bengal — a state that has traditionally been ruled by leftist and centrist parties.
