West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has reacted strongly to the exit poll projections for the state assembly elections, accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of fabricating the numbers to demoralize her party, the Trinamool Congress (TMC). In a video message, she expressed confidence that the TMC would form the government after the results are announced on May 4, stating, “We will return to power by winning more than 226 of 294 assembly seats in Bengal.” Banerjee claimed that the exit polls, which predict a close contest with the BJP possibly winning between 146 and 175 seats, are intended to mislead the public. She also mentioned that her constituency, Bhabanipur, experienced raids the previous night, further fueling her claims of BJP manipulation. Banerjee urged her supporters to keep a close watch on the counting process and promised to personally oversee the security of the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) strongrooms if necessary. The exit polls present a mixed picture, with some suggesting a possible TMC victory while others predict a BJP win, indicating a highly competitive election landscape.
