While talking about the vote share of the BJP in upcoming general elections in West Bengal and Kerala, the BJP Yuva Morcha Chief alleged that Mamata Banerjee has carried the "legacy of communists", but asserts that after BJP's Chief Minister will be appointed in the poll-bound state, it will not witness any "bloodshed and political murder."

Mamata Banerjee-led TMC had swept the 2016 Assembly polls by bagging 211 seats in the 294-member Assembly. However, the tables were turned when the BJP won 18 out of 42 parliamentary seats in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Now, the elections to the 294 seats in West Bengal will be held in 8 phases across 1,01,916 polling stations, announced Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora. The counting of votes will take place on May 2.  As per the phases, the polling in the state will be conducted on March 27, April 1, April 6, April 10, April 17, April 22, April 26 and April 29.
