‘Will Win After Sunset’: Mamata Banerjee’s First Reaction After BJP Crosses Majority Mark In Bengal
Mamata, who is seeking the fourth strait term, alleged a foul play by the Election Commission, and claimed that there’s a BJP’s plan to show themselves ahead first.”They have stopped counting at many places. Such machines have been found in Kalyani, where there is no match; atrocities are being committed against TMC from all sides through central forces,” Mamata claimed.Mamata again repeated her “stole votes through SIR” allegations, saying TMC was “ahead by more than 100 seats, which is not being reported”.”Through SIR, they tried to steal votes, and even now, we are ahead by more than 100 seats, which is not being reported. Everything is being reported wrong. The Election Commission is working entirely as per its own will, and central forces are also with them. The police are also working with the central forces,” she alleged.She further added: “I tell party workers that there is no need to feel disheartened; you will win after sunset. The counting of 2-4 rounds has taken place, the counting goes up to 14-18 rounds, and we will win. There is no need for anyone to be afraid.”In West Bengal elections, early counting trends suggest a strong surge for the BJP, with the party moving past the majority mark of 148 seats and leading in over 180 constituencies at various points during the counting process.The TMC, meanwhile, is trailing significantly, hovering around 90 seats in initial tallies.These numbers point towards a possible shift in the state’s political landscape, which has been dominated by the TMC for over a decade.
