Kolkata, April 25 As soon as the first phase of the West Bengal Assembly elections was over, Trinamool Congress General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee claimed that the Trinamool Congress has crossed the 100 mark.
On Saturday, Abhishek Banerjee claimed that the Trinamool Congress will cross the double century after the second and final phase of voting on April 29.
Abhishek held an election rally in Basirhat, North 24 Parganas district, today, where he said he does not usually make predictions, but when he does, he matches them.
He said he had made similar claims in 2021 and 2024, and asserted that the Trinamool Congress has crossed the century mark in the voting phase held the day before yesterday.
Regarding the remaining second phase of voting, Abhishek said that the double century will be crossed on the 29th and added that he does not know where the number will end up.
According to political circles, most of the seats in South Bengal, which are known as the Trinamool Congress’s stronghold, will vote on April 29.
According to the West Bengal Assembly election schedule, voting is being held in two phases this time.
Voting was held in 152 seats in the first phase on April 23.
Voting for the remaining 142 seats will be held on April 29.
According to Abhishek’s calculations, the Trinamool Congress has secured more than 100 seats out of the 152 seats in the first phase.
Meanwhile, he has challenged Union Home Minister Amit Shah to remain in Bengal till May 4, the day of vote counting.
He said that leaders from Delhi came and made big claims, but the people responded.
He alleged that they wanted to get votes by threatening voters, but the people of Bengal were not afraid.
He also reminded Bharatiya Janata Party leaders of the scorching heat prevailing in the state and advised them to drink more water.
