Kolkata, May 3 (TIWN) With the Trinamool Congress poised to cruise to a landslide victory in the Assembly elections to return to power for third time in a row, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday dedicated the win to the people of West Bengal, besides taking a dig at both the Election Commission and the BJP.
According to trends available for 284 out of 292 constituencies in West Bengal, the TMC was leading in 211 while the BJP in 79. However, there seemed to be a setback for the Trinamool supremo in Nandigram, where after several twist-and-turns, her one-time aide Suvendu Adhikari of the BJP reportedly defeated her by a narrow margin. The Trinamool, however, has not accepted the verdict yet, claiming that the counting is still on. "The counting process for Nandigram has not been completed. Please do not speculate," the party tweeted. Speaking at the state secretariat Nabanna, Banerjee didn't spare the EC besides hinting that something wrong is going on in Nandigram.
