Mamata Banerjee, "I will not resign, I did not lose, I will not go to Raj Bhavan. Question doesn't arise. We didn't lose the election. It is their attempt to defeat us. Officially, through the Election Commission they can defeat us but morally we won the election."

🚨 Bangladesh Foreign Minister Warns BJP Government! Bangladesh Foreign Minister Dr Khalilur Rahman told reporters that following the victory of the BJP in West Bengal, if they attempt to "push-in" Bangla-speaking people, Dhaka will take "appreciate measures".

The latest vote counts show Narendra Modi’s BJP leading in more than 190 seats in West Bengal - a state it has never governed. Critics warn of rising political dominance and concerns among Muslim voters. Al Jazeera’s Ava Warriner explains.

27 Lakh Voters were deleted in West Bengal. These were not 'dead people' or 'bangladeshis'. These were real people who had already appealed to get their votes restored. The Supreme court could’ve delayed the West Bengal elections until the tribunals finished hearing the appeals of these voters. But they didn’t. Only around 1607 voters were restored in time by phase 2 of these elections. Almost every appeal that was heard turned out to be a wrongful deletion. In any functional democracy, this would not count as a free and fair election where a large section of voters have lost their voting rights. I'm not saying that TMC would've won for sure if they were added back, maybe BJP would still win, but the question is about the fairness of these elections. Free and fair elections are a spectrum. Ever since Delhi-Maharashtra-Bihar-Bengal, this needle has moved more and more towards being unfair. Each time somehow the opposition parties participate as usual in the electoral process thinking that they can still pull of a win despite the compromised EC, ED, CBI etc. and each time they have been proven wrong after 2024 Lok Sabha. The question is, at what point will they feel that the level of unfairness is so unfair that elections should be boycotted? I personally feel TMC should have refused to participate in these elections until all those 27 lakh appeals were finished being heard.
