"Congratulations to Mamata ji for her heroic and courageous fight to uphold Indian democracy and a resounding victory defying all odds. This historic victory is reassuring for the country. Gratitude to the wisdom of Bengal voters," he said on Twitter.
NEW DELHI: West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Sunday registered a third consecutive victory in the state assembly election.
Mamata, the TMC supremo, successfully took on the BJP juggernaut led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and home minister Amit Shah besides a battery of national and state leaders.
Though the BJP had set a target of winning more than 200 of the 292 seats which went to polls, it was the TMC instead which crossed the double century mark. In the process, the BJP got restricted to double digit figures.
These are seven reasons why Mamata-led TMC won the 2021 West Bengal assembly election:

The experiment of the Samyukta Morcha, where the Left parties along with the Congress allied with a party headed by a Muslim peer, not only proved counter-productive but reduced the Left and Congress to a rubble in West Bengal politics. The trends and results of the West Bengal Assembly elections indicate that the total vote share of all the constituents of the Samyukta Morcha has not even touched 8%. The CPI(M) vote share dropped below 5% as counting was under way. The Congress vote share slipped to less than 3% in these elections.
