In a significant political shift, the West Bengal Assembly elections concluded with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) clinching a resounding victory, securing 207 seats out of 294, thereby ending the 15-year rule of the Trinamool Congress (TMC).

West Bengal Chief Electoral Officer Manoj Kumar Agarwal met with Governor RN Ravi to complete the statutory formalities, handing over the gazette notification listing the elected members of the new Assembly. This crucial step paves the way for the Governor to initiate the formation of the new Assembly and government.

Despite the BJP’s triumph, outgoing Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of TMC has yet to submit her resignation, marking a period of transition as the state adjusts to its new political landscape.
