It is going to be a tough fight in the eastern side. West Bengal that
made headlines during the elections due to violent clashes between BJP
and TMC workers will not be an easy state to win. As per the latest
trends, the contest between the ruling party BJP and Mamata Banerjee-led
TMC is quite close. On one hand, TMC hopes to prevent BJP inroads in
the state and on the other hand the Amit Shah-PM Modi duo aims to create
history.
However, if exit polls are to be taken into account -
or believed - then the BJP will end up writing history in West Bengal.
As per the India Today-Axis My India exit poll, out of the 42
parliamentary constituencies in West Bengal, BJP is likely to secure
19-23 seats, while TMC is likely to win 19-22 seats. Congress is also in
the fray but the exit polls predict that it will remain ineffective
with just one seat.
If this is what ends up happening then it
will be unprecedented for the eastern state that has been under the rule
of TMC in the recent past and the CPI (M) before that.
After the
exit polls, Mamata Banerjee took to Twitter to dismiss the predictions.
"I don't trust Exit Poll gossip. The game plan is to manipulate or
replace thousands of EVMs through this gossip. I appeal to all
Opposition parties to be united, strong and bold. We will fight this
battle together," she said.
Moreover, things had got a bit out of
hand during the campaign season as well. There were clashes between TMC
and BJP workers during a campaign rally by Amit Shah. Things heated up
between the Prime Minister and Mamata Banerjee as they severely
criticised and even name-called each other during their public
addresses.
