"Modi did not get the single largest majority, he should resign because he claimed he would get more than 400 seats. Amit Shah should also resign on moral grounds after today's results," Mamata said in an address to the media. "Now the BJP will have to beg the Telugu Desam party and Nitish Kumar to form the Government. I know them very well. They won't break INDIA."

Of the 42 seats in Bengal, according to the Election Commission, till the time of reporting, the Trinamool Congress is looking to win 29 seats (3 wins, 26 leads), while the BJP was leading in 12 and the Congress in one.
