West Bengal Assembly elections: India TV-CVoter opinion poll predicts victory for TMC

The recently released India TV-CVoter opinion polls for West Bengal elections has indicated that the  Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) will retain power in the state although the Left Front is likely to make a significant gain in vote share. The alliance with the Left is unlikely to help the Congress as the party is expected to bag 21 seats, which is much less than the 106 seats predicted from the CPI (M). The TMC is projected to get 160 seats while the BJP is unlikely to win in more than four seats.

West Bengal Opinion Poll by Zee 24 Ghanta

An opinion poll carried out by GFK Mode on behalf of Zee 24 Ghanta has projected that the Trinamool Congress is likely to get 200 seats in the approaching West Bengal Assembly elections. The Congress-Left alliance, which is tipped to get about 90 seats, will emerge a distant runner-up. The BJP would not be able to replicate its Lok Sabha elections performance and may end up with one seat only. The opinion poll shows that the recent Narada News sting operation has not had a major impact on the voters.

West Bengal Opinion Poll by IB (Intelligence Bureau)

(March-2016)
Last week has seen several developments in West Bengal as the political parties gear up for the assembly elections in April-May. Amidst the wide-ranging discussions over BJP’s move to field grandnephew of Subhas Chandra Bose against West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, the Intelligence Bureau submitted a survey report to the Union Home Ministry predicting victory for Mamata Banerjee-led TMC.

According to the IB report, the party will also improve its previous tally of 184 seats in 2011. Suggesting not much hope for the BJP, the report indicated that the party may not win more than five seats.

The report, which was created based on the ground reality, claimed that the Congress would end up being the third largest party in the state with 20-25 seats. Left Front, once again, is likely to emerge as the second largest party with 60-70 seats. While the ruling party will have a thumping victory in South Bengal, the opposition will gain some ground in North Bengal.
