West Bengal reposed faith in Mamta Banerjee once again giving her whopping 211 seats in the 294 seat assembly. Congress and Left alliance failed to make any impact and Left actually saw itself reduced to third place after Congress. BJP gained from its 2011 performance, but lost some of the gains made in the 2014 Lok Sabha Elections.
