The TMC clinched both seats in Kolkata's heart—Kolkata Uttar and Kolkata Dakshin—as well as Jadavpur and Howrah, where the electorate comprises both urban and rural voters.
Durgapur-Bardhaman, an area with urban, industrial, and rural zones, also witnessed a TMC victory. Election Commission data shows TMC secured 47.99% of the votes here, while the BJP got 38%.
