Mamata Banerjee Directs TMC Agents Not to Leave Counting Centers Amidst BJP Lead

Kolkata. As the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) takes a significant lead in the West Bengal Assembly election counting, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has given strict instructions to her workers and agents.

As TMC agents started leaving the counting centers, Banerjee issued a video message through social media appealing to them not to leave the centers under any circumstances.

She pleaded with folded hands, claiming that the BJP was conspiring to drive away her agents. Banerjee raised serious questions about the Election Commission and the central security forces, accusing them of trying to alter the results in collusion.

Her argument is that the Election Commission deliberately adopted a strategy of publicizing results from areas won by the BJP first and hiding results from areas where the TMC has a lead. She raised questions about the impartiality of the electoral process, stating that counting was stopped in about 100 seats and machines that were not counted were found in areas like Kalyani.

Claiming that the central security forces have committed atrocities against TMC workers and occupied party offices, Mamata called the current trend a false game. She expressed confidence that the results would come in her favor as much of the counting is yet to be completed, with 14 to 18 rounds of counting remaining.

Urging her leaders and workers not to be discouraged, she assured them that they would continue to fight like 'tigers' and victory would be certain in the end.

According to the current election trends, the BJP appears to be heading towards a clear majority in West Bengal, leading in 192 seats, while the ruling TMC is confined to 96 seats. Even in this adverse situation, Mamata has further heated up the electoral atmosphere by instructing her supporters to remain patient and stay put at the counting centers.
