With the counting underway for the West Bengal Assembly elections in 293 seats, anticipation is high over who will form the next government in the State. Results are being declared today after voting concluded in two phases, while the remaining one seat, Falta, will go to repoll on May 21 following the Election Commission’s order.

The elections were held under the shadow of the SIR exercise, in which the names of around 91 lakh people were removed from the electoral rolls, which shrank to around 6.82 crore.
