On Sunday, BJP national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya  credited Mamata Banerjee for the TMC’s astounding performance in Bengal elections. He said that his party would introspect the poll results. “The TMC won because of Mamata Banerjee. It seems people have chosen Didi. We will introspect what went wrong, whether it was organisational issues, lack of face, insider- outsider debate. We will see what went wrong,” he said.

As at 15:32 Hours, Suvendu Adhikari is ahead by 6 votes against Mamata Banerjee in Nandigram.

Prashant Kishor, the prominent Poll strategist  has indicated that he might step aside from his domain “to do something else in life.” In an interview to a media house, Kishore ruled out joining politics. He did not elaborate on what his future engagements might be. Kishor, who was engaged by the TMC, is being credited for the party’s stellar showing in the West Bengal elections, for which vote counting is underway.
