Will things change for TMC after ‘sunset’? Mamata Banerjee stares at crushing defeat in West Bengal
THe time is ticking for chief government minister Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool united states congress (TMC) which is staring at a devastating licking against the Bharatiya Janata Party in West Bengal elections as trends show the latter leading in over a staggering 210-plus seats.As counting trends emerged, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday urged TMC candidates and agents to remain vigilant and not to leave counting centres, alleging that there was a "game plan" by the BJP and the Election Commission to show the saffron party taking a lead in the early trends of counting.

Everything is being reported wrong. The Election Commission is working entirely as per its own will, and central forces are also with them. The police are also working with the central forces. I tell party workers that there is no need to feel disheartened; you will win after sunset. The counting of 2-4 rounds has taken place, the counting goes up to 14-18 rounds, and we will win. There is no need for anyone to be afraid," Mamata Banerjee said in her video message. Exceeding expectations by exit polls, BJP was ahead in over 210 seats in West Bengal, according to data available at 4 pm, while the TMC was way behind and leading in merely 63 seats.If the trends hold, the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC is in for a huge setback in the state it has governed for three terms since 2011, when it ended the 34-year long rule of the Left Front.Voting for the West Bengal elections took place in two phases - on April 23 and April 29 - across 294 seats of the state, however, votes are being counted for 293 constituencies due to the repolling ordered in Falta.
