In 2016, the Trinamool had won 30 of the 31 seats that went to polls in phase three yesterday.
This time around that number is set to decrease. Here s how it happened.
The third phase of polling for 31 seats spread across the South 24 Parganas, Howrah and Hooghly districts of West Bengal, on Tuesday, was marred by violence.
But what was significant about Tuesdayâs poll violence was that the Trinamool was at the receiving end at many places.
Trinamool candidates and functionaries who had allegedly tried to interfere in the poll process by storming polling booths with their supporters were repelled back by BJP supporters.
