As counting continues across multiple rounds, Mamata Banerjee has issued a strong message to party workers, asking them not to leave counting centres and to remain patient.
The All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) supremo stressed that the counting process is still underway and early trends should not cause concern among workers.
Mamata alleges irregularities in counting process
In a video message shared on social media, Mamata raised serious concerns about the counting procedure and alleged attempts to manipulate early trends.
“This is BJP's plan. They will show their results first in the initial two to three rounds, and show ours later. In many places, after counting two to three rounds, they have stopped counting at 100 places. Seven machines have been caught in Kalyani, where there is no match. This is being forcibly done through central forces. They are oppressing Trinamool Congress everywhere. Breaking offices, forcibly occupying them. Using the name of SIR, they have captured all the seats they can win. They are not announcing the seats where we are still ahead. They are feeding false news.”

She claimed that discrepancies have been detected in certain areas and accused authorities of delaying or withholding results where her party is leading.
'No reason to be disheartened'
Addressing party workers and counting agents directly, Mamata urged them to stay composed and not lose confidence as more rounds remain.
“I will tell all party workers and counting agents that there is no reason to be disheartened. I have said that you will win after sunset. Three to four rounds have been counted. Fourteen to eighteen rounds will be counted. Then you will win. Wait and watch. None of you should be afraid. Stay assured. We will fight like tiger cubs.”

Call for vigilance at counting centres
Mamata’s message underlined the importance of staying present at counting venues until the process concludes. With several rounds still pending, she emphasised that the outcome cannot be determined from early trends alone.
Her remarks come at a crucial stage of counting, as political tensions remain high and both sides closely monitor developments across constituencies.
