A day after scripting a historic mandate in West Bengal, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday increased its tally to 207 seats in the 294-member assembly, following a recount-triggered victory in the Rajarhat-New Town constituency, news agency PTI reported.
The additional seat came after BJP candidate Piyush Kanodia defeated sitting two-term Trinamool Congress (TMC) legislator Tapash Chatterjee by a slender margin of 309 votes after a recount, pushing the party’s final tally from 206 to 207.
