<p data-path-to-node="17"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b data-path-to-node="17" data-index-in-node="0">The Main Drivers</b></span></p>
<p data-path-to-node="17"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b data-path-to-node="17" data-index-in-node="17">First</b>, the BJP targeted the TMC over the 2024 RG Kar Medical College tragedy. <b data-path-to-node="17" data-index-in-node="95">Next</b>, they fielded the victim&#8217;s mother as a candidate to focus on women&#8217;s safety. <b data-path-to-node="17" data-index-in-node="177">Thus</b>, they hope to flip the woman-voter bloc. <b data-path-to-node="17" data-index-in-node="223">Additionally</b>, PM Modi and Amit Shah focused on corruption and the lack of jobs for youth. <b data-path-to-node="17" data-index-in-node="313">Moreover</b>, the TMC is banking on its cash transfer schemes for women. <b data-path-to-node="17" data-index-in-node="382">Consequently</b>, Mamata remains a very popular figure in villages despite 15 years of rule.

<p data-path-to-node="19"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b data-path-to-node="19" data-index-in-node="0">Now</b> voters must remember that exit polls are only a guess based on surveys. <b data-path-to-node="19" data-index-in-node="76">Actually</b>, history shows that Bengal is very hard to predict.</span></p>
<p data-path-to-node="20"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b data-path-to-node="20" data-index-in-node="0">Looking Back at 2021</b></span></p>
<p data-path-to-node="20"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b data-path-to-node="20" data-index-in-node="21">First</b>, most polls in 2021 predicted a very close fight between both sides. <b data-path-to-node="20" data-index-in-node="96">Next</b>, Mamata Banerjee surprised everyone by sweeping 215 seats. <b data-path-to-node="20" data-index-in-node="160">Thus</b>, the BJP was left with only 77 seats despite a high-energy campaign. <b data-path-to-node="20" data-index-in-node="234">Additionally</b>, the huge 90% turnout in 2026 could mean a &#8220;silent wave&#8221; for either side. <b data-path-to-node="20" data-index-in-node="321">Moreover</b>, we will only know the truth when the counting starts. <b data-path-to-node="20" data-index-in-node="385">Consequently</b>, the real results on May 4 could still stun the pollsters.</span></p>

<p data-path-to-node="22"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b data-path-to-node="22" data-index-in-node="45">Now</b>, a party needs 148 seats out of 294 to form the government. <b data-path-to-node="22" data-index-in-node="109">Thus</b>, the BJP is currently hovering right at the edge in most polls.</span></p>
<p data-path-to-node="23"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b data-path-to-node="23" data-index-in-node="0">Q: When will the final 2026 results come out?</b></span></p>

<p data-path-to-node="25"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b data-path-to-node="25" data-index-in-node="42">Since</b> 91 lakh names were deleted, the total voter pool shrank by 12%. <b data-path-to-node="25" data-index-in-node="112">Therefore</b>, every vote now carries even more weight.</span></p>
