==Impact==
There has been a major political shift from the left to the right in the 2019 general elections in West Bengal. ''The Statesman'' says, “Making an aggressive penetration in Bengal for the first time since its inception in 1980, BJP alone has dramatically increased its vote share close to 40 percent this time. Thus, it has virtually made the CPI-M into a mere marginalised political party and at the same time the saffron party set a strong challenge before the Trinamool Congress hardly two years ahead of the Assembly elections scheduled in [[2021 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election|2021]] in the state.” This obviously is the most important impact of the general elections in the state visible in the voting pattern right across the state, irrespective of who won or lost a particular seat.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.thestatesman.com/cities/kolkata/west-bengal-election-results-2019-left-veers-political-oblivion-1502758472.html | title = West Bengal election results 2019: left veers into political oblivion | publisher = The Statesman, 24 May 2019 | access-date = 30 May 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.thehindu.com/elections/lok-sabha-2019/analysis-in-west-bengal-lefts-vote-drop-will-benefit-bjp-but-to-what-extent/article27214640.ece | title = Analysis: In West Bengal, Left’s vote-reduction will benefit BJP but to what extent? | publisher = The Hindu 23 May 2018 | access-date = 30 May 2019}}</ref>
