Speaking to India Today TV, Dilip Ghosh, president of the West Bengal unit of the BJP, said he is confident that his party will win elections this year. When asked who will take the responsibility if the party loses, Ghosh said, "Being the party chief, I will take the responsibility in case we lose".
The West Bengal Assembly election 2021 result will be declared today (May 2) as the counting of votes begins at 8 am. Despite the election, held amid a raging Covid-19 pandemic, dragging on for over a month, voter enthusiasm hardly showed any sign of waning. In one of the most gruelling and arguably the most bitterly fought polls in a long time, an estimated around 80 per cent of over 84.77 lakh voters exercised their franchise in Bengal.
