The Bharatiya Gorkha Prajatantrik Morcha (BGPM), which holds 281 of the 598 seats in Kalimpong and 598 in Darjeeling, is projected to overtake all other parties as the party with the most support in the Bengal hill regions.
A verbal battle between the TMC and the BJP erupted as early trends began to flood in, with the latter accusing the former of "making last desperate attempts to loot votes by blocking opposition agents from entering counting centers."
By preventing candidates from the BJP and other opposition political parties from entering counting centers, TMC goons are attempting desperately to steal the elections. Suvendu Adhikari, the head of the opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, alleged that they were being prevented from approaching the location and that bombs were being thrown to frighten the counting officials.
TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh denied the accusations, saying, "Sensing defeat, they are making baseless allegations."
"This is BJP's last attempt to come up with lame excuses to make up for its own organizational failures," he continued, "rejected by the people and sensing humiliating defeat."
The West Bengal panchayat election was marred by violence on Saturday.
On Saturday, violence erupted during West Bengal's rural elections, leaving up to 15 people dead while voting boxes were vandalized, ballot papers were set on fire, and bombs were thrown at opponents in several locations. According to reports, 11 of those who died belonged to Mamata Banerjee's party. Since the election dates were published on June 8 and the voting process began, a total of 30 people have died in the state.

On Saturday, there was an 80.71 percent turnout in the polls, but by 5 o'clock in the evening, only 69.85 percent of West Bengal's 696 polling places had reported their votes. A total of 5.67 crore individuals who reside in rural areas of the state were able to vote for 2.06 lakh candidates for 73,887 panchayat seats.
After considering claims of violence and tampering with ballot boxes and vote papers on Saturday, the decision was made to hold new elections.
It is noteworthy that the violence on Saturday was consistent with the state's history of bloody rural elections, such as the 2003 panchayat elections, which earned attention for their 76 total deaths during the voting process, with roughly 40 of those occurring on the election day.
With more than 30 fatalities since voting was announced earlier last month, this year's death toll is now nearly equal to that of the 2018 panchayat elections. Contrary to the 2018 rural elections, where the ruling TMC won 34% of the seats without any opposition, this time the opposition ran candidates in more than 90% of the seats.
Results of the 2023 panchayat elections show that TMC won in 2018
The ruling TMC won 90 percent of the panchayat seats and all 22 zilla parishads in the 2018 West Bengal Panchayat elections.
The Opposition claims they were prohibited from submitting nominations in some seats as a result of the extensive violence that marred the polls.
