Mamata Banerjee has rejected exit poll projections for the West Bengal Assembly elections, alleging they were “fabricated” by the Bharatiya Janata Party to demoralise workers. She urged members of the All India Trinamool Congress to stay vigilant, guard EVM strongrooms, and remain present at counting centres. Banerjee warned of possible attempts to tamper with electronic voting machines or manipulate data during counting. Despite the allegations, she expressed confidence that her party would retain power. The remarks come amid heightened political tensions and conflicting exit poll predictions, with results scheduled to be announced on May 4.
