Kunal Ghosh, Trinamool Congress candidate from Beleghata, expressed full faith in Bengal residents, stating they are backing Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Leading by over 3,500 votes, Ghosh emphasized trust in the people’s support. He criticized the Election Commission for alleged harassment of Trinamool members, questioning the fairness of the process.
The ongoing vote count in West Bengal, starting with postal ballots, has seen Ghosh leading in Beleghata. The Election Commission’s modified counting process aims to provide clear results by noon. With the Trinamool Congress and BJP in a fierce contest, the outcome remains crucial for both parties.
In the previous elections, Trinamool Congress secured 216 seats, with BJP following at 77 and AISF at one. The Left Front and Congress aim to regain a foothold in the state Assembly this time. Conducted on April 23 and April 29, the high-turnout two-phase polls have generated varied exit poll predictions.
