BJP Breaks West Bengal Barrier With Historic Victory

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP won West Bengal for the first time, securing about 208 of 294 seats and ending Mamata Banerjee's 15-year rule, part of a broader national surge that included gains across several states. Turnout rose to around 92%, amid controversy over voter-roll purges that Banerjee called fraudulent.
