Seat change
Against West Bengal's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1977), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained216 (73%)
- Changed hands77 (26%)
- New seat1 (0%)
216 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 77 changed hands. 1 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.
