Which way will WB, Odisha and Bihar go if LS polls are held today

January 20, 2014 22:05 IST

CNN-IBN & CSDS has conducted a nationwide election tracker that covers the eastern states of Bihar, West Bengal and Odisha, the southern states of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala; Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh of West India and three northern states of Rajasthan, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.

Lets’s look today at the eastern states of Bihar, West Bengal and Odisha.

The seat projection as per the survey says in West Bengal for the Trinamool Congress is between 20 and 28, Left Front 7 and 13, Indian National Congress 5 and 9, Bharatiya Janata Party 0 and 2.

The key findings of the survey say that the TMC is projected to get 33 per cent vote share if Lok Sabha polls are held on today in West Bengal.

If it slips further, it is likely to secure only 25 per cent vote share if LS polls are held today in WB cong likely to end up third in vote share; projected to get 19 per cent votes in WB.
