BJP projected to win 97-107 seats in West Bengal

Early projections from the first phase of West Bengal's state assembly elections indicate a strong performance for India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Based on booth-level assessments, the BJP is projected to win between 97 and 107 seats. This result would represent significant losses for the incumbent Trinamool Congress (TMC) led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The projections, reported by News18, suggest a major political shift could be underway in the key eastern state.
