Haroa (WB), May 11
West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee today claimed that the BJP would see a reduced seat count in UP and draw a blank in seven other states.
She said the BJP was looking at West Bengal for votes as it had fared badly in the last five phases of the Lok Sabha polls. “Where will BJP get the numbers from? In UP its seat count will reduce from 73 to 13 or 17. In other states like Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Rajashthan, Punjab and Odisha, it will draw a blank. Its seats will reduce in Madhya Pradesh also,” Banerjee said at a public meeting here in support of Trinamool Congress candidate Nusrat Jahan.
Modi is losing confidence, she said, urging people not to vote for BJP. “In Bengal, TMC should win all 42 seats which will help it to have some control in the formation of the new government,” said Banerjee, who has been claiming that her party would play an important role at the Centre after LS polls.
“We do not want BJP. Show the door to the party through votes,” she said. She alleged that BJP, Congress and CPM were of the same ilk. — PTI
