Here's how star power performed in West Bengal elections

India Today  

As both the Bharatiya Janata Party and Trinamool Congress banked on star power to gain voters' confidence in the 2021 assembly elections in West Bengal, many in the saffron camp failed to touch a chord with the masses. Kanchan Mullick The TMC candidate from Uttarpara constituency, Kanchan Mullick won by 41.71 per cent votes against BJP's Prabir Ghoshal who won 28.96 per cent votes. Indranil Sen The singer was instrumental in TMC retaining the Chandannagar seat by securing 47.63 per cent vote share and defeating BJP's Deepanjan Kumar Guha who bagged 33,702 votes. Sayantika Banerjee The actress and TMC's Bankura constituency candidate Sayantika Banerjee lost to BJP's Niladri Sekhar Dana by close to 2,059 votes. The actress's star power failed to cut ice with the voters of Bankura who have seen star candidate Moon Moon Sen winning this Lok Sabha seat in 2014 on a TMC ticket.
