LIVE: West Bengal Election Results: Latest news, trends, full list - Winners, losers of TMC, BJP

LIVE UPDATES: West Bengal Election Results: Here is  latest news, trends and Full list of Winners, losers of TMC, BJP:-

The TMC was ahead in 202 of the 292 seats, way over the halfway mark of 147, leaving the BJP trailing far behind in 77 seats. It was a long way from the three seats in the last elections for the party, which fielded its top leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, but power was still elusive - if the trends translated into results.

The Left parties, which once called the state their bastion, and the Congress were decimated and not even a factor.

Though the TMC seemed to have successfully ridden the BJP challenge, it could well be a bitter sweet moment for Banerjee herself with trends showing she was trailing behind her one-time loyalist and now BJP candidate Suvendu Adhikari in Nandigram by bout 3,700 votes.

In terms of vote share, the TMC had 48.5 per cent of the votes against the BJP's 37.4.
