2024 Lok Sabha Election Result LIVE: "Will Certainly Help INDIA...": Mamata Banerjee As Bloc Pegs Back BJP
NDTV
Last month Ms Banerjee said "I am very much part of INDIA... it was my brainchild", but made it clear she wanted no truck with Mr Chowdhury, whom today she called a "BJP man".
Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has seen off a forceful challenge by the BJP for majority control of the state's 42 Lok Sabha seats and offered cautious support to the INDIA bloc, which today chucked an outsized spanner in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'abki baar, 400 paar' plans.
The amicable reference to the INDIA group - of which her Trinamool is still (formally) a member, despite January's acrimonious end to seat-share talks with the Congress - is an echo of remarks from last month, when she spoke of "outside support" if the opposition bloc were to win the poll.
"I will certainly help INDIA... I have many friends and will try to see Modi is out," she said this evening, after 11 hours of vote-counting left the BJP just 20 seats over the majority mark of 272.
