While BJP won only 2 seats, BJP candidates for the first time, returned runner-up in 3 seats and it also got 16.8% vote share - BJP's best performance so far surpassing its previous best of 11.66% in 1991 elections. However. Trinamool Congress dominated the election winning 34 seats. The CPI-M led Left Front was decimated winning only 2 seats as the BJP made inroads in its vote share. It was also argued that, ""resurgence of the Left can never be ruled out"https://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-the-rise-of-bjp-in-west-bengal-1989376 The rise of BJP in West Bengal Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis 2014-05-17 dna en-US 2017-01-05 Assembly segments wise lead of Parties PartyAssembly segmentsLok Sabha results: Numbers point to tough fight ahead in West Bengal assembly pollsConstituenciesPosition in Assembly (as of 2016 election)ConstituenciesAll India Trinamool Congress 214 211Left Front 29 32 Bharatiya Janata Party 23 3Indian National Congress 28 44 Others 0 4Total 294 Postal Ballot wise lead of Parties PartyNo. of ConstituenciesAll India Trinamool Congress 16Left Front 23 Bharatiya Janata Party 2Indian National Congress 1Total 42 RegionTotal seatsAll India Trinamool CongressBharatiya Janata PartyIndian National CongressCommunist Party of India (Marxist)OthersGanges Delta101000000000North Bengal80101040200Northern Hills40300000000Rarh Bengal101000000000South Bengal101001000000Total423402040200 References expanded West Category:Indian general elections in West Bengal Category:2010s in West Bengal
