Exit polls have predicted a strong performance by the BJP, suggesting it will surpass the TMC in West Bengal. Despite these predictions, the TMC has expressed confidence in securing a majority of the 42 Lok Sabha seats in the state. "Most of the exit polls predicted a BJP victory in the 2021 assembly elections, but the TMC won a two-thirds majority. We believe in people's mandate, not opinion or exit polls. The TMC will win more than 30 Lok Sabha seats in the state," claimed TMC leader Santanu Sen.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the TMC won 22 out of the total 42 seats. The BJP emerged as the second largest party with 18 seats and the Congress could only win 2 seats. The Left was, however, decimated in the state as it could not win any seats.
