Following the West Bengal assembly elections where the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 207 seats out of 294, actor Prosenjit Chatterjee addressed rumors that he congratulated BJP's Rudranil Ghosh on his victory. In a Facebook post, Chatterjee stated, “please don't put any political colour on me,” asserting that he did not make any calls related to the elections. He explained that his younger brother called him, and he simply offered blessings, distancing himself from political affiliations. Meanwhile, Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Mamata Banerjee, who saw her party's representation drop from 215 to 80 seats, refused to resign as Chief Minister, alleging that the BJP had forcibly taken seats from her party and criticizing the Election Commission’s impartiality. The BJP responded by labeling her remarks as absurd and suggested she was seeking attention. Banerjee expressed her commitment to continue working for the people despite her electoral defeat.
