“I would ask the people to stay calm as I am hopeful that even this time ‘Ma, Mati and Manush’ will form the government. In 2026 we will get 226 seats if not more. Some people are doing violence but I will ask everyone to stay peaceful and the administration should ensure that no one is hurt. BJP is spending money to show ‘manufactured’ news,” said Mamata.

The Chief Minister also urged the candidates to keep strict vigil at the strong room in order to protect the EVMs.

“If needed, I will be on the road. All the candidates should stay near the strong rooms at night so that the EVMs are not tampered. In the morning some trustworthy people should be kept near the strongroom. On May 4 till I hold a press conference no one should leave the counting table,” further added Mamata.
