West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee had said that the verdict of the people will be clear only after the votes are counted.
She was responding to an earlier statement made by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday after the first phase elections were held for 30 seats in West Bengal and 47 seats in Assam.
He said, “BJP would win 26 of the 30 seats in the first phase of elections in Bengal and 37 in Assam.”
Amit Shah also added, “We aim to win more than 200 seats in Bengal, which has 294 assembly constituencies.”
He quipped that people were voting in support of the positive agenda created by the BJP.
Mamata Banerjee spoke at an election campaign event in Chandipur constituency on Sunday indirectly questioning how a leader from BJP claimed to win 26 seats and why not 30, to whom were the remaining 4 seats left? Congress, CPM?
Ms. Banerjee said she will not predict the election results now. “The people’s verdict will be evident once the votes are counted. “

Mamata Banerjee urged voters around the state not to care who the Trinamool candidate is in the constituency but to think that she is contesting in every constituency.
Trinamool polling agents have been advised to be vigilant during the elections. Saying they have been warned about receiving bribes.
Mamata Banerjee also aimed at AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi stating “that a leader had come from Hyderabad to divide the minority votes in Bengal.”
And also remarked she “wanted to know where the leader was in case of riots in Delhi and Gujarat.”
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee didn’t stop at that she further went on making allegations that Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Orakandi temple in Bangladesh just for the sake of Matua votes in Bengal.
The Prime Minister said the aim was to strengthen India-Bangladesh relations and visiting the temple had nothing to do with the election.
Political revenge is also running high in West Bengal.
The ruling Trinamool Congress immediately released a phone call tape in retaliation for the audiotape released by the opposition party BJP.
The phone call, which included a conversation between BJP national vice-president Mukul Roy, senior leader, and industrialist Shishir Bajoria, has now become a topic of discussion.
The tape records say that the BJP has no polling agents in Bengal, so Mukul Roy is directing Bajoria to persuade the EC to appoint non-locals as agents.
