The 2021 West Bengal assembly polls have been a tussle for power between the centre and the state government. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has had to fight it out till the last second for power in the state, and in the end it was the matriarch the incumbent chief minister of the state, Mamata Banerjee who emerged victorious by a landslide.
While the BJP had injected money and political and financial muscle in the election campaign, drawing massive media and PR coverage, the efforts seemed to have fallen short before the popularity of the incumbent among the grassroots population, including minorities.
The AIMIM had contested from seven assembly segments in West Bengal and three in Tamil Nadu.
