Out of 20 seats with highest voter deletions, TMC won 13: Jaiveer Shergill

BJP spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill on Tuesday criticised opposition parties for alleging electoral malpractice in the assembly elections, questioning why they are putting doubt over the results of West Bengal but have no problems with the results in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Talking on X, he said, "To dear sore losers from Opposition, SIR, Election Commission worked perfectly fine in TN & Kerala BUT SIR, EC did not work per rules in W Bengal ? Out of 20 seats with highest voter deletions, TMC won 13!!! Opposition must Think before they Speak ! Hypocrites !!" The BJP's victory in West Bengal marked a significant moment for the party as it has been a marginal player in the state, dominated for years by the Congress, Left parties, and later Trinamool Congress. As per the latest data released by the Election Commission of India, the BJP has secured 206 seats out of 294 seats in the Assembly. TMC won 81 seats. Congress won two seats, while Humayun Kabir's AJUP managed two seats, both of them won by Kabir himself. CPI(M) managed to win only one seat.
