Everything is being reported wrong. The Election Commission is working entirely as per its own will, and central forces are also with them. The police are also working with the central forces,” she alleged. She further added: “I tell party workers that there is no need to feel disheartened; you will win after sunset.

The TMC, meanwhile, is trailing significantly, hovering around 90 seats in initial tallies. These numbers point towards a possible shift in the state’s political landscape, which has been dominated by the TMC for over a decade.Follow the latest election results 2026, live updates, winner lists, constituency-wise results, party-wise trends and full coverage for Tamil Nadu election results, West Bengal election results, Kerala election results, Assam election results and Puducherry election results results on Times of India.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
