With the conclusion of phase 7 polling in India, the election season here is finally cooling off and the spotlight has now shifted to election results. Indian media houses on Saturday (June 1) revealed exit poll data, that cast doubts on the big claims of the opposition INDIA bloc and indicated an easy win for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). BJP's massive lead was supported by its expanded gains in the eastern state of West Bengal.&nbsp;

Exit polls gave BJP more seats in the state than the regional Trinamool Congress, led by ferocious Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

BJP was given more seats in the state by two exit polls. Matrize predicted the BJP to win 21-25 seats whereas Jan Ki Baat projected the party to win 21-26 seats, way above TMC's 16-20 seats.&nbsp;

PMARQ exit poll also gave BJP more seats, 22, against the TMC's 20. The exit poll released by D-Dynamics gave BJP 21 seats and TMC 19 seats.

Whether these predictions hold any ground will only be confirmed on June 4, the day when the Election Commission of India (ECI) will release official results.

<h2>2019 election results</h2>

In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP had won 18 seats out of a total of 42, whereas 22 seats went to the TMC. However, there was not much difference in the vote share of both parties. The BJP's vote share was at 40.25 per cent whereas TMC bagged 3 per cent more, 43.28 per cent.

This result came as a major setback for TMC and a huge success for the BJP, which had secured just 2 seats in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections with a vote share of 17 per cent.

<h2>BJP's strong election campaign</h2>

The BJP ran a strong, sharp election campaign in the state ahead of the polls, spearheaded by none other than the PM himself.

In West Bengal, voting took place in seven phases between April 19 and June 1 to select 42 members for the 18th Lok Sabha. The first phase had an astounding 82 per cent turnout, and the second phase had over 72 per cent. The voter turnout remained strong throughout the phases. Voter turnout was 77.53 per cent in the third phase, 80.22 per cent in the fourth, 78.45 per cent in the fifth, and 82.71 per cent in the sixth.&nbsp;
