Since 2011, Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress (TMC) has ruled the state of West Bengal; this time, however, the BJP has stopped the continuous run. The TMC is getting ready to move to the opposition benches for the first time in over a decade, as the BJP is expected to gain about 200 seats and take control of West Bengal for the first time.
