Question

Which of the following statements contradicts the news of TMC's victory in the Bengal elections?

(I) In the crucial constituency of Nandigram, BJP defeated TMC by 1952 votes.

(II) BJP's vote share increased from 25\% to 32\% compared to the previous year.

(III) Out of 292 seats, TMC won 225 seats, setting a record.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Statement (I) indicates that BJP won in a key constituency, Nandigram, by a margin of 1952 votes, which challenges the narrative of a complete TMC sweep.

2. Statement (II) shows BJP's vote share rose from 25\% to 32\%, reflecting increased support compared to the previous election.

3. Statement (III) highlights TMC's significant victory with 225 seats out of 292, supporting the claim of their win.

Since statements (I) and (II) provide evidence that contradicts the idea of an absolute TMC victory, they negate the news of TMC's clean sweep, whereas statement (III) supports it.

**Answer:** Only I and II
