In West Bengal, it seems to be advantage Mamata Banerjee in Lok Sabha elections 2019, with her Trinamool Congress again winning the largest chunk of the state’s 42 seats, according to exit poll predictions. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), meanwhile, is projected to improve its position from last time. If the exit polls are anything to go by, the Left parties could be wiped out in the state this time.

The India News-Polstar exit poll has projected 26 seats for the TMC, 2 for the Congress, 14 for the BJP, and none for the Left.
