The Bharatiya Janata Party aimed to get a stronghold in other South Indian states, after winning in the Dubbaka by-elections in Telangana recently. It tried its best to win in the recently concluded general elections in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and even West Bengal. However, all these three states have seen their regional parties emerge victorious while relegating National parties to the backbench.
The DMK has won by a majority in Tamil Nadu, while Kerala’s LDF managed to emerge victorious once again, taking on its opposition of the Congress-led UDF. In West Bengal, the Trinamool Congress, led by Mamta Banerjee, is leading with a vast majority of 204, while BJP struggled to cross the two-digit mark. On the other hand, though, the BJP has managed to lead by a vast majority in Assam, taking over its only rival, in the form of Congress.
The TMC won 210 seats in WB so far, while the BJP won just 79 seats. In Tamil Nadu so far, the DMK won 121 seats, while the AIADMK won just 80 seats. In Kerala so far, the LDF won 56 seats, while the Congress-led UDF won just 27 seats. In Assam so far, the BJP won 56 seats, while the Congress has won 29 seats.
