BJP's victory is not a true reflection of people's mandate: Mamata

Banerjee also attacked Congress saying that the grand old party is losing its credibility, can't depend on them.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) saying that its victory in four out of five states that went for assembly polls recently is not a reflection of people's mandate.

Pitching for Opposition unity ahead of the 2024 general elections, Trinamool Congress chief asserted that if Congress wants then all anti-BJP parties can fight elections together.

"If Congress wants we all can fight (2024 general elections) together. Don't be aggressive for now, be positive. This winning (Assembly polls in 4 states) will be a big loss for BJP. This (2022 election results will decide the fate of 2024 polls) is impractical," ANI quoted Banerjee as saying.

She further alleged EMC malpractice by the ruling BJP in Uttar Pradesh and said that SP chief Akhilesh Yadav should seek forensic tests of the voting machines used in the assembly polls.

"There was loot and malpractices of EVM. Samajwadi Party's Chief Akhilesh Yadav shouldn’t be disheartened and should seek forensic tests of the same EVM machines. Akhilesh Yadav’s vote percentage increased from 20 per cent to 37 per cent this time," the West Bengal Chief Minister said.

Banerjee also attacked Congress saying that the grand old party is losing its credibility, can't depend on them. "All political polities that want to fight BJP should walk together," she added.

She also lauded her party for fighting Goa elections and said that the Trinamool Congress got 6 per cent votes in the coastal state within three months of the party's launch there. Adding, "It is enough".
