West Bengal Lok Sabha Elections Result 2024: The Lok Sabha election for 42 seats in West Bengal that commenced on April 19 concluded on June 1, with polling split in all seven phases. Though the exit poll results painted a positive picture for the BJP, the final result will decide the fate of parties and their candidates on June 4. The counting of votes will begin at 8 am, but Republic TV will launch extensive coverage of the election results from 6 am onwards to keep the viewers aware of the overall election scenario.
West Bengal remains a key battleground for the BJP and ruling TMC as both parties have been at loggerheads since the 2021 Assembly elections. From CM Mamata Banerjee to Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari, the Lok Sabha polls campaign witnessed fiery speeches, electioneering and slogans from both camps.
Notably, TMC decided to contest all 42 seats independently despite being part of the INDI bloc. The Congress and CPI(M) are jointly contesting against the TMC and BJP in the state.
TMC's Lok Sabha polls campaign relied heavily on an ‘outsiders’ charge on opponents along with fearmongering on CAA, NRC and UCC, while the BJP played law and order ‘collapse' card citing the Sandeshkhali issue.
