Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee led her party to a resounding victory in the West Bengal Assembly elections on Sunday, winning 213 seats of the 292 seats in the state. However, Banerjee herself narrowly lost the election in Nandigram to Bharatiya Janata Party candidate Suvendu Adhikari, who was once her aide.
The BJP stood second with 77 seats. The Rashtriya Secular Majlis Party won one seat, and an Independent candidate won another. The Left Front and the Congress drew a blank. The majority mark in West Bengal is 148.
Politicians from across the country, including Mehbooba Mufti, Arvind Kejriwal and Sharad Pawar congratulated Banerjee for defeating “disruptive and divisive forces”.
