West Bengal Election Verdict: A Complex Issue of Sabotage and Perception

Nowadays, the seat tally of the BJP and the TMC in Bengal indicates a decisive mandate. But on a deeper look, the West Bengal verdict highlights a far more complex issue. The sky-high gap between calculations and perceptions. It is not a vote against any political party or Mamata Banerjee, it is a vote against a secret number. According to the Election Commission of India (ECI) data, the BJP 45.84 got a 40.80 percentage of the vote. The BJP's vote was 29.24 million and the TMC's vote was 26.613,307. The difference in votes was 32 million. The BJP's seat was 207 and the TMC's was 80. The difference was 127 seats. The margin of change exceeded the margin of the vote by many times. The 5 percent margin is very small, which leads to such political results. So the obvious question is - what went on behind the scenes? The culture of sabotage of the TMC: Maitrakondi, who did the BJP beat?
