Exit polls for the West Bengal Assembly Elections have delivered a dramatic forecast as three out of four pollsters predict that the BJP is set to breach Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress stronghold, a bastion the saffron party had long dubbed its "final frontier." These three exit polls project the BJP winning anywhere between 146 to 175 seats, a figure that could comfortably form a government. However, not all pollsters agree. People's Pulse stands alone in predicting a TMC comeback, foreseeing Mamata Banerjee returning to power for an unprecedented fourth consecutive term. As Bengal awaits the actual verdict, the political stakes could not be higher. (PC: India Today)
