TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee will meet West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar at 7 pm today and stake claim to form the government, after her party's stupendous win in the assembly elections.

"Tomorrow at 7 PM Hon'ble CM will be calling on me at Raj Bhavan," Governor Dhankhar had tweeted Sunday night.  

The ruling TMC has won 212 of the 292 seats where polling was held in eight phases in March and April and is leading in one where counting is still in progress. The BJP emerged as the main opposition party with 77 seats under its belt.

It is for the second time in succession that Banerjee powered her party to a two-thirds majority in the state assembly.
