"The NDA will now have to satisfy so many partners. I think the INDIA bloc will form the government shortly. Till then, this government can continue,” the Trinamool Congress supremo told media persons after meeting the newly-elected MPs of the party.

“I said the NDA will not cross the 200 mark. However, the gain in numbers for the NDA was helped by the Election Commission of India,” the Chief Minister claimed.

During the meeting with the newly-elected MPs, the Chief Minister outlined the roadmap for Trinamool on the floor of the 18th Lok Sabha.

The three issues that the party MPs will be vocal about will be the non-release of central funds to the state, misuse of central agencies against the opposition parties, and opposing the CAA and NRC.

The Chief Minister also claimed that Trinamool's tally in the Lok Sabha polls would have gone beyond the 29 seats it won if not for the 'manipulations' by the polling officials on certain seats.

“The results in both the constituencies in East Midnapore -- Kanthi and Tamluk -- were manipulated,” she claimed.

Reacting to the stock market scam allegation, Mamata Banerjee said, “I do not understand the share-market much but after reading the newspaper, it seems – daal mai kuch kala hai”.
