West Bengal Election Results 2021 Winning Candidates Full List: Mamata loses Nandigram by 1956 votes; check constituency-wise performance

The Trinamool Congress registered a resounding victory in West Bengal, earning a two-thirds majority and a consecutive third term in the state.

The chief minister, however, lost by 1956 votes in Nandigram to former protege-turned-BJP adversary Suvendu Adhikari.

The TMC won 213 seats, the BJP clinched 77 seats and parties like Congress, CPM, CPI, AIMIM and All India Forward Bloc garnered negligible vote shares.

Parties such as the AIMIM and Abbas Siddiqui's ISF, which were seen as having the potential to deal a blow to the TMC's minority support base, failed to make an impression as the minorities threw their weight behind Mamata Banerjee.

In terms of vote share, the TMC had 47.94 percent of the votes against the BJP's 38.13 per cent.

In the 2016 Assembly election, TMC bagged 211 of the 294 seats at stake while Congress-Left combine got 76 seats and the BJP managed to garner three constituencies.

Some of the prominent winners this time are TMC turncoat Suvendu Adhikari, state ministers Subrata Mukherjee, Firhad Hakim and Partha Chatterjee, and TMC leaders Aroop Biswas and Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay.

Among the most notable losses in the state were those of BJP candidate and Rajya Sabha MP Swapan Dasgupta (Tarakeswar), Chunchura BJP candidate and Lok Sabha MP Locket Chatterjee, union minister and BJP’s Tollygunge candidate Babul Supriyo, and actor Rudranil Ghosh, who faced a defeat at the hands of TMC heavyweight Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay in Bhowanipore. Former JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh, who made her poll debut on a CPM ticket from Januria, lost by a margin over 45,000 votes to TMC’s Hareram Singh.
