There was 93.13 percent voting in the first phase and 91.66 percent voting in the second phase in the state, which is the highest turnout since independence.

Meanwhile, in the exit poll released by Today’s Chanakya on Thursday (30 April 2026), BJP is likely to get a huge majority in Bengal.
BJP has majority in Bengal: Today’s Chanakya
In today’s Chanakya exit poll, BJP is likely to get 192 seats, TMC 100 and others 2 seats. Talking about vote share, BJP can get maximum 48 percent votes, TMC can get 38 percent votes and others can get 14 percent votes. It has been claimed in the survey that the votes of backward people and Dalits have gone to BJP, while most of the votes of Muslims have gone in favor of Mamata Banerjee’s TMC party.
71 percent Muslims vote for Mamata
According to Today’s Chanakya Exit Poll, 71 percent of Muslims in West Bengal have voted for the candidates of Mamata Banerjee’s party TMC. Whereas only 8 percent Muslims voted for BJP. However, BJP has got full support from OBC and SC/ST. According to the survey, 61 percent OBC voters voted for BJP and 27 percent voted for TMC. Apart from this, 67 percent SC and 53 percent ST have voted for BJP. Whereas 22 percent SC and 40 percent ST voted for TMC.
In the West Bengal elections, BJP had made infiltrators and women’s safety the biggest issues. If these exit poll figures prove to be correct then it will prove to be a big blow for TMC. Because with her fourth consecutive victory, Mamata Banerjee can establish herself as the strongest opposition face against BJP before the 2029 Lok Sabha elections.
Mamata Banerjee’s big allegation against Amit Shah
TMC Chief Mamata Banerjee has alleged that on the direct instructions of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the Central Forces were working as agents of BJP during the West Bengal elections. He said that the exit poll projections were broadcast on the instructions of BJP to demoralize Trinamool Congress workers.
