India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) achieved a landslide victory in West Bengal, winning 207 of 293 seats. The BJP defeated the All India Trinamool Congress Party (TMC), the incumbent party for 15 years. Psephologist Pradeep Gupta attributed the win to factors including anti-incumbency, deteriorating law and order, and the BJP's performance in other states. The 'women factor' also played a role, with West Bengal experiencing incidents of brutality, including the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College. The victim's mother, who accused the TMC government of shielding the culprits, won a seat for the BJP. TMC chief Mamata Banerjee refused to accept defeat, alleging the government had 'stolen' the election and blaming the Election Commission of India's Special Intensive Revision for removing her support base.
