AIADMK+ is giving a tough fight in TN. They may cross 100 at this rate, and not be restricted to 70 odd as predicted by most exit polls.

What are the local channels reporting in bengal?

Not sure if these are still postal ballots and eastern border areas..

Kati · Post by **Kati** » 02 May 2021 10:31

Most of the seats reporting in WB are from south. North Bengal, the stronghold of BJP, is yet to report majority of the seats.

Can a person lose the seat and still be CM?

News18 is showing 137 for TMC and 85 for BJP. So is the Quint.

ECI, the definitive site, shows 58 for TMC and 33 for BJP out of 92. All leads, no wins.

If a person is elected chief minister who is not a member of the legislature, then he/she must take sign from governor.

MB behind by 8000 votes in Nandigram

Yes. A non-MLA can become Chief Minister, provided that they win a seat in either upper house or lower house of the state legislature within 6 months from date of swearing-in.

Kati · Post by **Kati** » 02 May 2021 10:44

The CM, if not a member of the legislature, must get elected within six months from some seat.

Kati · Post by **Kati** » 02 May 2021 10:44

WB assembly doesn't have the upper house.

Kati · Post by **Kati** » 02 May 2021 10:45

End of third round:
Mumtaz Banoo is now trailing by 4991 votes.

sudarshan · Post by **sudarshan** » 02 May 2021 10:46

OK, thanks for the replies. Now both Quint and News18 are showing 146 for TMC already. 147 is needed to win. I don't know how reliable these sites are, but even ECI is showing a big lead for TMC (68 TMC, 36 BJP, 2 Indep out of 106).

Congress on track to score ZERO out of 91 seats in Bengal.

sudarshan · Post by **sudarshan** » 02 May 2021 10:52

If the above trends are right, then BJP has a great chance of crossing 100 in Bengal and will have made big gains, but that's about it.

Assam, however, seems to be in the bag. And Puducherry.

Shaktimaan · Post by **Shaktimaan** » 02 May 2021 10:53

By the way ,during this election Prashant Kishore promised on video that he will quit his business if BJP crosses 100 seats in Bengal, so I wonder what he will do now...

Prem Kumar · Post by **Prem Kumar** » 02 May 2021 10:54

How many more rounds of counting to go in Bengal?

Doesn't look like a BJP sweep so far. Even if they rally from behind, it'll be a close one

Kati · Post by **Kati** » 02 May 2021 10:54

After third round,
Babul Supriyo, Locket Chatterjee and Swapan Dasgupta are all trailing.

Kati · Post by **Kati** » 02 May 2021 10:54

Usually each seat has about 15 to 20 rounds.

Kati · Post by **Kati** » 02 May 2021 10:55

Nandigram has 17 rounds.

sudarshan · Post by **sudarshan** » 02 May 2021 10:58

Hope there's some surprise somewhere, otherwise Bengal is going to see a wave of vengeance and vindictiveness. Let's see, only two hours into counting so far.

And they get elected to either of the houses within six months. There is no provision for a CM/PM who is not elected in any way.

Kati · Post by **Kati** » 02 May 2021 11:00

Many seats will be decided by 500 or 1000 or similar number of razor thin margin.

OmkarC · Post by **OmkarC** » 02 May 2021 11:04

Well, if this result holds, I will hold PVR Narasimha Rao's astrological predictions in high regard.. he did predict Modi tsunami 2019, Trump's ouster 2020 and MB returning to power in WB in 2021.

Avinandan · Post by **Avinandan** » 02 May 2021 11:04

+ 1
So for Bengal, the astrologer was correct after all

Shaktimaan · Post by **Shaktimaan** » 02 May 2021 11:10

Padma Shri E. Shreedharan sir leading from Palakkad right now.

williams · Post by **williams** » 02 May 2021 11:20

Irrespective of who wins in Bengal, BJP got 3 seats 2016. It is still a major achievement.

Santosh · Post by **Santosh** » 02 May 2021 11:22

BJP/TMC
North Bengal 28/22 - this is where BJP lost
South Bengal 19/50 - TMC held its fort
Kolkatta 21/65 - TMC held its fort
