Claims 100 seats were stolen, calls it murder of democracy
“This is murder of democracy as 100 seats were stolen. We (TMC) have won morally and the loss was done purposely. This was not just the fight against the BJP but against the entire system. History will repeat itself and what will BJP do if they lose power in Delhi? The party is intact and we will bounce back. We have made a 15 members fact finding committee to find the irregularities,” said Mamata.
TMC chief Mamata Banerjee, says "Chief Election Commissioner became the villain of this election to loot the democratic rights of the people and to loot the EVM. Can you tell me that after voting EVM has 80-90% charge? How is it possible?"
