Ahead of the May 4 counting day for the West Bengal Assembly elections, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee reiterated her confidence that the Trinamool Congress (TMC) will win over 200 seats out of 294. In a virtual meeting with party cadres, she emphasized the importance of staying at counting centers until the results are finalized, especially in light of exit polls indicating a lead for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Banerjee dismissed these polls as unreliable and urged her team to report any unusual activities during the counting process. She also instructed counting agents to request recounts for TMC candidates losing by narrow margins of 200-300 votes. Concerns about potential election malpractice and electronic voting machine (EVM) tampering were also raised, reflecting the tense atmosphere surrounding the counting process. Despite these challenges, Banerjee remains optimistic about a landslide victory for her party.
