BJP's Medinipur candidate Dilip Ghosh is tipped to win

The BJP has taken giant strides and made major headway into the Trinamool Congress territory of West Bengal in 2019 Lok Sabha elections, according to an exit poll conducted by ABP News. The saffron party, which has been targeting West Bengal over the past couple of years, is slated to win 16 of the 42 seats in the state, adding 14 Lok Sabha constituencies to its tally of two achieved in 2014 Lok Sabha polls.

The TMC, which swept the 2014 general elections in the state by bagging 34 Lok Sabha seats, may be reduced to 24 seats. The Congress, which won four seats in 2014, may get only two seats,  the exit poll projected.
