Former India captain Sourav Ganguly remarked that no one—not even Maa Durga—can predict the outcome of the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, amid intense speculation over exit polls. Responding to media queries, he emphasized that only the official results on counting day will reveal the verdict.
