Mamata Banerjee Issues Urgent Message To TMC Workers, Says ‘Do Not Leave Counting Centres, This Is BJP’s Plan’

As vote counting continued across West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee addressed party workers, counting agents, and supporters with a strong message. She asked them to stay alert, remain at counting centres, and not lose confidence during the early rounds of counting.

Her statement came at a time when initial trends showed fluctuations, creating tension among political workers and voters.

Stay at Counting Centres, Do Not Leave

Mamata Banerjee made a direct appeal to Trinamool Congress (TMC) candidates and counting agents, urging them to remain present at counting centres and strong rooms.

She said, "I request all voting agents and candidates not to leave the counting centres or strong rooms. Do not step out of the counting area."

She suggested that staying present is important to ensure that the counting process remains fair and transparent.

Raises Concerns Over Counting Process

The Chief Minister also raised concerns about how early trends were being presented. She claimed that initial rounds might not reflect the full picture.

She stated, "From the first two or three rounds, they will show their lead first, and our results will come later."

Banerjee also alleged that in some places, counting had been stopped after a few rounds, which she described as unusual.

Allegations of Pressure and Irregularities

Mamata Banerjee further alleged that there was pressure on her party workers and interference in the process.

She said, "They are working with central forces to put pressure on TMC. Our offices are being attacked, and attempts are being made to take control."

She also referred to earlier concerns around voting, adding, "You have seen how votes were looted in the name of processes so that they can win seats."
"Do Not Lose Hope, Results Will Change"

Despite her concerns, Banerjee urged her supporters not to lose hope and to wait for the later rounds of counting.

She said, "Do not feel discouraged. Only four or five rounds have been counted. There are still many rounds left."

Expressing confidence in her party's performance, she added, "I had said earlier, after sunset you will see the results. Wait and watch."

Message of Strength and Unity

In her closing remarks, Mamata Banerjee encouraged party workers to stay strong and united. She said, "Do not be afraid. We are all with you. We are fighting like a tiger to protect our people."

Her message focused on patience, vigilance, and confidence as the counting process continues, highlighting the tense and high-stakes nature of the West Bengal election results.
