The Election Commission of India (ECI) will declare the poll results for West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam and the union territory (UT) of Puducherry on Monday (May 4). The assembly elections in all the four states and Puducherry are being closely watched because of their political significance and the neck-and-neck contest there.
The elections in West Bengal are particularly being watched out, as they have been described as a neck-and-neck contest between the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The TMC under Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s leadership is seeking a fourth straight term, but the BJP has mobilised all its resources to oust the party from power. West Bengal, which has 294 assembly seats, saw an intense campaigning, with both TMC and BJP accusing each other of misusing all means to stop each other from coming to power.
