West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday dismissed exit poll projections for the state, declaring that the Trinamool Congress (TMC) will form a "government of Maa, Maati, Manush." Her statement came after multiple polling agencies released forecasts indicating a close contest between the ruling TMC and the main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Record Voter Turnout
The two-phase polling, held on April 23 and April 29 across all 294 assembly seats, concluded with a record voter turnout exceeding 90%. This high participation reflects the intense political engagement in the state.
Exit Poll Predictions
Several exit polls projected a neck-and-neck race, with some giving a slight edge to the TMC while others suggested a tight battle. However, Banerjee remained confident, asserting that her party's focus on grassroots governance and welfare schemes would secure a decisive victory.
The TMC chief emphasized the party's commitment to the people of West Bengal, stating that the government would continue to prioritize the welfare of the masses. She urged her supporters to remain vigilant and ensure a peaceful post-election process.
