Daily brief
India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has won the West Bengal state assembly elections, securing a majority and ending the 14-year rule of the Trinamool Congress (TMC). The victory, driven by a split in Muslim votes and a strong campaign by BJP leaders, marks a major expansion for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party into eastern India. However, the BJP suffered a major setback in Tamil Nadu, where it was reduced to just one seat.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accused the BJP and the Election Commission of India of 'looting' more than 100 seats in the recent elections, vowing to bounce back.
