Overview
- Following Monday's count, the BJP finished near 207 of 294 seats and ended Mamata Banerjee's 15-year rule.
- Hours after the result, clashes flared in several districts, with two TMC offices in Asansol vandalised and burned and the party reporting a worker killed in Birbhum.
- TMC said its supporters were targeted and Mamata Banerjee formed a 10-member fact-finding panel, while BJP leaders denied the charges and police reinforced security.
- A pre-poll Special Intensive Revision of voter rolls removed about 90–91 lakh names, which multiple reports say reshaped key seats by shrinking TMC strongholds.
- Analysts point to a security-first, nationally led campaign, heavy central force deployment, and late swings among women and government employees as decisive, with restoring law and order now the new government's first test.
