The minority voters had also learnt lessons from the recent Assembly elections in neighbouring Bihar where division of votes in Seemanchal had benefited the BJP. While AIMIM played the spoiler for RJD in Bihar, it got no traction in West Bengal. Neither did ISF despite attracting big crowds at rallies. These two parties did not get a single seat as Muslims voted en masse for TMC. Fielding Yogi Adityanath in the campaign has not worked either. His threat of forming the “anti-Romeo squad” if BJP is voted to power and raking up Love Jihad did not impress voters in the state.
