PTI INFOGRAPHICS | West Bengal’s changing political map over the years

As the second phase of polling concludes in West Bengal on April 29, attention turns to the counting day on May 4. The state has witnessed significant shifts in its political landscape over the past few elections.

In the last three Assembly elections, the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) steadily increased its seat share from 184 in 2011 to 215 in 2021. Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which did not win a single seat in 2011, emerged as the primary opposition in 2021 with 77 seats, replacing the Left Front and the Indian National Congress.

Here’s a look at the results of the past three Assembly elections in the state:

SHREYAS IYER, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!! 🤯

What made Shreyas Iyer’s catch so special was not just the athleticism, but the awareness behind it.

He had to judge the speed of the ball, the height, where the boundary rope was, how close he was to stepping on it, and get his jump absolutely perfect.

Then, while still in the air, he caught the ball and released it to a teammate before landing, all the while knowing exactly where that fielder was positioned.

To process all of that in a split second takes unbelievable awareness, timing, fitness, and composure.

@ShreyasIyer15 got everything spot on. One of the best catches I’ve ever seen live!

"I think it was possible because of the support from my family. My husband, and my parents, support me a lot. Especially my parents look after my daughter when I travel. It's not easy to become a World Champion when you are 37. It's quite difficult when you get older to keep that motivation and stay sharp when required. I'm glad that I made it." - 🇮🇳 Humpy Koneru, the 2024 FIDE Women's World Rapid Champion about how she balances her professional and personal life.
