 ‘Joy Ma Durga’ instead of ‘Joy Shree Ram’ and a focus on booth- level management are key factors behind BJP’s win in Bengal. 

 “This election has clearly shown that West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala ousted governments that had one thing in common, divisive politics,” the PM said. 

 The BJP will gain one seat to reach 114 while the DMK will be reduced to seven seats in the Rajya Sabha from the current eight. 

 K V Vijay Damu, a fan club leader, won an MLA seat for TVK in Chennai, highlighting the party’s roots in Vijay Makkal Iyakkam’s massive membership.
