Seat change
Against West Bengal's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1967), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained120 (43%)
- Changed hands140 (50%)
- New seat20 (7%)
120 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 140 changed hands. 20 did not exist at the previous election.
India’s constituencies have not been redrawn since the 2008 delimitation, so this compares the same seat boundary both times.
