Lok Sabha poll results: BJP takes lead over TMC in West Bengal
Kolkata/IBNS: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has taken an early lead in the postal ballot over the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal as per the trends of the Lok Sabha poll counting.
According to ABP News, the BJP is leading in 19 seats, TMC in 15, Left Front in 1 and Congress in 2 seats.
The majority of the exit polls had predicted the BJP will emerge as the single largest party in the elections, which ran from April 19 to June 1.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had earlier claimed the BJP will gain havoc in West Bengal, which the saffron camp has never ruled.

TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee had claimed his party will at least win 23 seats, one more than last Lok Sabha poll tally, in the worst case scenario.
