West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has dismissed speculation about her resignation following the Trinamool Congress’s (TMC) major setback in the state assembly election. Speaking to journalists in Kalighat on Tuesday, she appeared defiant and accused the Election Commission of bias, alleging that the central government seeks one-party rule. Banerjee insisted that she would not resign, declaring, “Why should I resign? We have not lost.”
According to the election results, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 207 of the 293 assembly seats, while the TMC secured 80. The outcome triggered widespread political discussion about Banerjee’s future as chief minister. Senior TMC leaders, including Abhishek Banerjee, Firhad Hakim, and Derek O’Brien, were present during her remarks.
Banerjee said she had endured much during her tenure but now felt free to fight against what she described as oppression. She vowed to continue her struggle from the streets, emphasizing her identity as a grassroots leader.
