The correct answer is 'West Bengal'

Key Points

  • West Bengal:
    • West Bengal has a significant number of Lok Sabha seats, reflecting its large population and political importance in India.
    • As of the latest delimitation, West Bengal has 42 Lok Sabha constituencies, making it one of the states with the highest number of seats in the Lok Sabha.
    • This large representation is crucial for political parties during general elections, as winning a substantial number of seats in West Bengal can greatly influence the overall outcome.

Additional Information

  • Gujarat:
    • Gujarat has 26 Lok Sabha seats, which is significant but not as many as West Bengal.
    • The state's representation in the Lok Sabha reflects its economic and political importance, but it does not have the largest number of seats.
  • Assam:
    • Assam has 14 Lok Sabha seats, a smaller number compared to West Bengal.
    • The state's representation is crucial for regional politics but does not match the larger states in terms of seat count.
  • Rajasthan:
    • Rajasthan has 25 Lok Sabha seats, which is considerable but still fewer than West Bengal.
    • The state's representation is significant in national politics, but it does not have the highest number of seats.
