In the aftermath of the West Bengal Assembly elections, Saugata Roy (Trinamool Congress MP) expressed disappointment over the party's significant loss, attributing it to an 'anti-incumbency wave', consolidation of Hindu votes, and the rise of new political forces like the Indian Secular Front (ISF) and Humayun Kabir's party. Roy indicated that while the Trinamool Congress still retains support from Muslim voters, the emergence of these new parties has eroded their vote share. Party leader Mamata Banerjee has claimed that election rigging occurred in nearly 100 assembly seats, leading her to reject the results. Roy invoked Winston Churchill's quote on victory and defeat, emphasizing the need for a thorough analysis of the election outcomes. Additionally, he noted a surprising trend in the election results, where the BJP attracted a significant portion of the women's vote, with a turnout of 93%, which was 2% higher than that of men. Roy expressed uncertainty about whether women voted independently or under the influence of their husbands, despite the Trinamool's efforts to promote women's interests.
