West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has dismissed exit polls predicting a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lead in the 2026 state assembly election. She asserted that such surveys were being circulated to demoralize Trinamool Congress workers and expressed confidence that her party would secure at least 226 seats. Banerjee said she trusted the people's overwhelming mandate and even suggested the tally could exceed 230 seats.
The state recorded a voter turnout of 92.47 percent across 294 constituencies, despite extreme heat and allegations of intimidation. Banerjee thanked voters for their participation and described the exit polls as a major conspiracy to influence public opinion before results are announced. She urged party members to remain calm, avoid provocation, and wait peacefully until the vote count on May 4.
Most exit polls have projected a close contest between the BJP and Trinamool, with several giving the BJP a slight edge. Only one survey, by People’s Pulse, forecast a clear Trinamool majority with 177–187 seats.
