West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee delivered a strong message to the people of the state amid an intense election atmosphere on April 30, 2026. Expressing deep gratitude to voters who braved the heat to cast their ballots, she said the election was not just a political contest but a fight to protect Bengal’s autonomy and dignity. Her remarks reflected strong confidence in the Trinamool Congress’s victory.

Banerjee accused sections of the central forces and administration of bias and alleged that Trinamool workers and ordinary voters faced harassment. She dismissed exit polls circulated by the opposition, particularly the Bharatiya Janata Party, calling them part of a conspiracy to manipulate the stock market. She urged party workers to remain alert on counting day to prevent any tampering with electronic voting machines or irregularities during counting.

Reminding supporters of Bengal’s heritage of resistance, Banerjee said the people of Bengal would decide their own fate. She concluded with the belief that Bengal’s victory would be confirmed once counting ends on May 4.
