Ahead of the West Bengal Assembly Polls, the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the BJP have been bitterly engaged in a war of words. BJP is riding high on its success in the 2019 Lok Sabha election in the state and is determined to dislodge the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC government.

The magic figure to be the ruling party in the West Bengal Assembly is 148. 

TMC had won 211 seats in the 2016 Assembly Elections, while in 2019 BJP won 18 of the 42 Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal.

Bengal will witness the most highly volatile battle with two-time Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee facing a tough challenge from the BJP amid an exodus from her Trinamool Congress to the saffron party and corruption investigations against her prominent party leaders.
