Kolkata: West Bengal Assembly election came to an end on Monday with both the Trinamool Congress and BJP claiming they would have a thumping win and cross 200 seats come May 2, an assertion that was as polarized as the campaign run by both the sides.

Chief Minister exuded confidence that her party will win over 200 seats, while the BJP would not cross the 70-seat mark, an assertion even more conservative than the party’s poll strategist Prashant Kishore who has claimed the BJP’s wins would be limited to 100 constituencies.

Nadda said his party had already crossed the majority mark 148 by the sixth phase of the polling and it would only add more numbers by the time all eight phases have polled. He said people had reposed their faith strongly in the saffron camp.

She said her fight was to “save Bengal” as it was the only place where people could protest against the policies of the Narendra Modi government while accusing the Prime Minister of being responsible for spread of the Covid-19 in India.
