Trends in the counting for the West Bengal panchayat elections results on Tuesday indicated that the Trinamool Congress (TMC) is poised for a massive victory in the State’s rural polls.
Notwithstanding the fact that the election was marred by violence in which more than 35 people lost their lives over a month-long election process, the trends at the time of counting indicated that West Bengal’s ruling party has won more than 90% seats for which results had been declared by Tuesday evening.
Thousands gathered outside counting centres and security forces had to use force to control the violence.
