West Bengal Records 92.9% Voter Turnout in Assembly Elections Phase II

West Bengal saw an unprecedented 92.9% voter turnout across two phases of assembly elections, the highest since independence, surpassing previous records especially in Kolkata. This surge occurred despite a reduced electorate, with more votes cast overall and women outvoting men. Officials attribute it to voter roll corrections and enhanced security measures. Complaints of vote tampering are under investigation, including EVM issues leading to repoll in Falta constituency. Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the turnout as a sign of fear-free elections and predicted BJP gains. Exit polls show mixed projections with some favoring BJP and others TMC retention.
