West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has rejected exit poll predictions for the 2026 Assembly elections, calling them an attempt to manipulate the stock market and demoralize Trinamool Congress (TMC) workers. She claimed that such projections were circulated under political influence and warned that the “truth” could impact markets. Confident of victory, Banerjee asserted that TMC would win over 200 seats, far exceeding exit poll estimates that suggest a tight contest or BJP advantage. She urged party workers to stay vigilant and trust internal assessments, framing exit polls as misleading narratives ahead of counting day. (PC: PTI)
