The celebrations in Uttar Pradesh, led by Yogi Adityanath, were palpable as state cabinet ministers gathered for a celebration following the BJP's early lead in Assam and West Bengal trends. Before heading into the cabinet meeting, Adityanath joined his ministers in marking the party's strong position in these regions.
The BJP's victory comes after a fierce electoral battle in West Bengal, where the party is on track to cross the crucial halfway mark of 148 seats, marking a significant political shift in the state. The BJP is poised to become the single largest party in West Bengal, which will contribute to increasing the NDA's governance footprint to 21 states.
In West Bengal, the BJP secured 6 seats and is leading in 193 constituencies, out of a total of 199 contested. The All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) won 1 seat and is leading in 87 constituencies, bringing its total to 88 seats. Meanwhile, the Indian National Congress (INC), Aam Janata Unnayan Party (AJUP), Communist Party of India (Marxist) - CPI(M), and All India Secular Front (AISF) failed to win any seats but are leading in 2, 2, 1, and 1 constituencies, respectively. The total number of seats contested in the state was 293.
The election in West Bengal saw historic voter turnout, with Phase-II achieving 91.66%, and the combined voter participation from both phases standing at 92.47%. The record-breaking turnout is a testament to the public's engagement and trust in the BJP's promises of development and strong governance.
Meanwhile, in Assam, the BJP continued its strong performance, winning 15 seats and leading in 67 constituencies, out of 82 contested. The Bodoland Peoples Front (BOPF) secured 1 seat and is leading in 9 constituencies, totalling 10 seats. The All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) won 1 seat and is leading in 1 constituency, totalling 2 seats.
Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) did not win any seats but is leading in 8 constituencies. The Indian National Congress (INC), Rajjor Dal (RJRD), All India Trinamool Congress (AITC), and Independent (IND) did not win any seats but are leading in 20, 2, 1, and 1 constituencies, respectively. A total of 126 seats were contested in Assam.
The results indicate that the BJP's continued dominance in Assam, where it secured its third consecutive term, and its rise in West Bengal signify a shift in the political landscape, as the BJP looks to extend its influence and cement its foothold in these critical regions.
Meanwhile, in Puducherry, the BJP marked another victory, securing a second consecutive term in the Union Territory, further consolidating its presence across diverse regions of India.
