Bengal Lok Sabha Election Result 2024 - Mamata Banerjee's Press Conference
Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee held a press conference this evening as leads show a return to coalition politics. Here are the highlights from her speech:
- PM Modi has lot credibility, must resign as PM, he had said 400 paar, but has failed to deliver on that.
- Now PM Modi is entirely dependent on JDU and TDP.
- I wish the judiciary gets back its freedom.
- I spoke with Akhilesh Yadav and congratulated him on the performance of the Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh.
- I also spoke with Tejashwi Yadav, who said that the result so far is not true and that many rounds of counting is still to go and the result might reflect differently than what it is currently.
- I also spoke with Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar and congratulated them on their parties' performance in Maharashtra.
- BJP and Modi ji have so much pride and arrogance. He threatened everyone, all leaders, MPs, MLAs and councillors in our state, he even sent money to influence the vote. Despite all that the INDIA bloc won and PM Modi lost.
- The BJP built the Ram Temple and even then they lost in Ayodhya. I am told that PM Modi also lost in postal ballots before EVM counting began.
