What is vote share report?
According to the survey report, TMC’s vote share in Bengal is estimated to be around 42% and BJP’s to be between 35-41%. Even in vote share the difference between the two parties is not much. It is clear from these figures that this time the contest may not be one-sided but very close.
What is the strength of Mamata Banerjee?
Mamata Banerjee’s biggest strength is her welfare schemes. The impact of his schemes is still considered strong among women, farmers and rural sections. This is the reason why his support base is still intact.
What is the big strategy of BJP?
On the other hand, BJP has also given its full strength. Through the rallies of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, the party has made the elections a national level issue. BJP is prominently raising issues like corruption, law and order and women’s safety.

Present trends show an inclination in favor of Trinamool Congress, but the growing strength of BJP has made the contest completely open. The word ‘Khela’ has been discussed in the politics of Bengal before, and this time too this election seems to be exciting in the same manner.
