The ruling TMC has won 213 of the 292 seats where polling was held in eight phases in March and April.

The Bharatiya Janata Party emerged as the main opposition party with 77 seats under its belt.

 

It is for the second time in succession that Banerjee powered her party to two thirds majority in the state assembly.

"Tomorrow at 7 PM Hon'ble CM will be calling on me at Raj Bhavan," Governor Dhankhar had tweeted Sunday night.
