West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday(April 30, 2026) alleged that exit poll projections were aired at the “instruction of the BJP” to demoralise her party workers, even as she asserted that the ruling party would win more than 226 seats in the Assembly polls.
In a video message shared on social media ahead of counting on May 4, Ms. Banerjee claimed television channels ran projections circulated from the BJP office.
