In the ongoing West Bengal Assembly elections, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee (of the Trinamool Congress) has confidently predicted that her party will secure at least 226 out of 294 seats. This assertion comes a day after the completion of the second phase of voting, which saw a turnout of 92.67%. Banerjee accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of exerting pressure on media outlets to circulate misleading exit poll data to portray a false narrative of their victory. She claimed that the BJP's tactics aimed to demoralize her party's workers and stabilize the stock market. In response, BJP leaders dismissed Banerjee's predictions, asserting that her time in power is over. They noted the significant voter turnout as an indication of the electorate's dissatisfaction with the TMC government. Banerjee expressed gratitude to voters for their participation and criticized the central forces for their treatment of TMC supporters during the election process.
