KOLKATA: The Bengal BJP chose not to read much into the exit poll predictions, saying huge turnouts in Bengal’s hinterland despite Covid indicated that people had decisively voted for a change.
“Wait for two more days,” said Bengal BJP general secretary Sayantan Basu, in his initial reactions after the various exit poll results were published. “When you get to see the results, you will see BJP has won Bengal with a comfortable majority,” he added.
State BJP leaders also said that various exit polls differed by over 50 when it came to the seat count; that meant that the “margin of error” was way beyond the 10%-15% mark, and unreliable to base any logical decisions on.

Mamata Banerjee has issued a direct threat to the central forces deployed in the state on election duty.
It constitutes an attempt to interfere and influence the poll process, and amounts to a gross violation of the code of conduct.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has lodged numerous complaints with the Election Commission of India (ECI) accusing Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee of violating the model code of conduct and attempting to rig the ongoing assembly elections in Bengal.

Caught in a fierce electoral battle, politicians in Bengal are seeking divine intervention
Call it the influencer of BJP’s religious culture or Mamata’s recent attempt to appease the majority Hindu voters, the ‘temple tactics’ seems to be a successful model for the major political parties. Mamata earlier restricted herself to
Durga Puja and Ganga Sagar fair inauguration, when Hindu pujas and rituals were concerned. She was more often seen amidst the Muslim clerics with her head covered, asking for ‘dua’ (blessings).
