Of the 292 seats that went to the polls in West Bengal, the TMC had either won or led on 215 seats, while the number for the BJP was 76.
In her first exclusive interview, TMC chief and West Bengal CM Mamata
Banerjee slammed the Election Commission of India, saying the poll panel worked like the "BJP's spokesperson" during the election.
