In West Bengal, where polling was held for 294 seats, the contest is primarily between the ruling All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Puducherry
In Puducherry, where voting took place for 30 seats, Chief Minister N Rangaswamy and his All India N.R. Congress (AINRC) are aiming to retain power for another term.
