Impact[edit]

There has been a major political shift from the left to the right in the 2019 general elections in West Bengal. The Statesman says, “Making an aggressive penetration in Bengal for the first time since its inception in 1980, BJP alone has dramatically increased its vote share close to 40 percent this time. Thus, it has virtually made the CPI-M into a mere marginalised political party and at the same time the saffron party set a strong challenge before the Trinamool Congress hardly two years ahead of the Assembly elections scheduled in 2021 in the state.” This obviously is the most important impact of the general elections in the state visible in the voting pattern right across the state, irrespective of who won or lost a particular seat.^[16]^[17]

Analysis[edit]

Assembly segments wise lead of Parties[edit]

Party		Position in Assembly (as of 2016 election)	Assembly segments (as of 2019 Lok Sabha election)^[18]^[19]	2021 State Election
	BJP	3	121	77
	INC	44	9	0
	TMC	211	164	215
	Left Front	32	0	0
	Others	1	0	2
Total		294

Postal Ballot wise lead of Parties[edit]

Party		No. of Constituencies
	All India Trinamool Congress	2
	Left Front	1
	Bharatiya Janata Party	39
	Indian National Congress	0
Total		42

TMC won 3 out of 3 assembly seats in the next assembly by-elections in November 2019. Even the seat of State BJP president Dilip Ghosh which fell vacant due to Dilip Ghosh's win in Loksabha election, Kharagpur Sadar was won by TMC by a lead of 22,000 votes. TMC was trailing in that seat by 158,000 votes in 2019 general elections.^[20]^[21]^[22]^[23]^[24]
