The BJP has historically performed very poorly in the state. This time, however, they looked to have made a few amends. ABP-Nielsen predicts 16 seats for the BJP and 24 seats to the Trinamool Congress. Republic CVoter and Times Now-VMR have both predicted 29 for the TMC and 11 seats for the BJP. The Congress is expected to win the remaining 2 seats in the state. Either way, the BJP looks to have performed significantly better than the previous elections and have made inroads into West Bengal. Mamata Banerjee would be hoping that the TMC has performed better than what the exit polls have predicted as she looks to make a bid for the Prime Minister post.</p>.<p>Naveen Patnaik’s Biju Janata Dal has also taken a hit from the BJP according to exit polls.
