What will happen if CM does not resign?

If a CM does not resign then the Governor has special powers. The Governor can first ask for resignation from the defeated CM and if he refuses, he can issue an order for immediate dissolution of the Assembly. In such a situation the Governor can dismiss the Chief Minister. If any step is taken by the Chief Minister or any major crisis arises, then the Governor can recommend President’s rule under Article 356. This happens in case of failure of the constitutional machinery in the states. However, in the case of West Bengal, the election results have come and it is clear whose government will be formed in the state.

The Governor has the power to appoint a new Chief Minister of the state and administer the oath under Article 164. After the government losing the elections and the dismissal of the CM, the Governor can choose the leader of the legislative party as the Chief Minister, after which a new government can be formed. This means that even if Mamata Banerjee does not resign, she cannot remain the CM of West Bengal after the mandate.
