Mamata Confident of Victory, Slams Exit Polls

Mamata Banerjee on Saturday exuded confidence that the TMC will emerge victorious in the ongoing assembly elections.

Addressing the counting agents via video conferencing, she dismissed the exit poll projections. "We are winning and winning by 200+ seats. Exit polls are nothing but an attempt to manipulate the stock market. They did in 2021, 2024, and now."

She accused Central Armed Police Forces personnel of committing brutality against TMC workers. "The party in the coming days will reward those who faced the brutality of the CAPF," she said.

Exit poll numbers projected an interesting tussle in West Bengal, with the BJP ahead in most of the projections. West Bengal went to the polls in two phases and saw record polling. Results will be declared on May 4 (ANI)
