'The chaos she created have been answered by people": MP Minister Bhuria refutes Mamata's allegations on Bengal polls outcome

Madhya Pradesh Minister Nirmala Bhuria dismisses Mamata Banerjee's allegations on Bengal poll results, crediting women voters for BJP's decisive victory.

"The 15 years of chaos she created there have been answered by the people and the women's power. - Nirmala Bhuria"

Bhopal, May 5

Madhya Pradesh Minister Nirmala Bhuria dismissed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's allegations against the BJP following the Assembly election results, asserting that the mandate reflects public anger against years of governance failures.

Reacting to Banerjee's claims that the BJP's victory was "immoral" and "illegal," Bhuria on Monday said, "She is losing, that's why she is making these allegations. The 15 years of chaos she created there have been answered by the people and the women's power." She credited women voters for playing a decisive role in the outcome, suggesting that dissatisfaction with governance translated into electoral change.

Earlier, Banerjee alleged large-scale irregularities, claiming that the BJP had "looted" over 100 seats and accusing the Election Commission of bias.

"The Election Commission is the BJP's commission... Do you think this is a victory? It is an immoral victory, not a moral victory," she said, adding that complaints to officials, including Manoj Agrawal, yielded no action. She further alleged that Central Forces and top BJP leadership were complicit in what she termed an "illegal" process.

The Trinamool Congress chief also raised concerns about the counting process, alleging violence and procedural lapses. "From 3 pm onwards, they have been beating us. I was hit. CCTV was switched off. None of our agents was allowed inside the counting centre," Banerjee claimed, adding that officials were unavailable despite assurances.

On Monday, the BJP's victory in West Bengal marks a significant moment for the party as it has been for long a marginal player in the state dominated for years by the Congress, Left parties and later Trinamool Congress.

As per the latest data released by the Election Commission of India, the BJP has secured 206 seats out of 294 seats in the Assembly. TMC won 80 seats and is currently leading in one for which counting is underway.

Congress won two seats, while Humayun Kabir's AJUP was restricted to two seats. CPI(M) managed to win only one seat.

Despite the BJP's sweeping seat victory, the vote share revealed a more competitive undercurrent. The party secured 45.84% of the vote, while the TMC followed closely with 40.80%, highlighting that the electoral battle remained fiercely contested at the grassroots level.

The CPI(M) garnered 4.45%, and Congress secured 2.97%, while other smaller parties and independents collectively contributed around 4.28%. The numbers suggest that while the BJP translated its vote share into a decisive seat advantage, the Opposition retained a substantial voter base--pointing to a divided yet shifting electorate.

Honestly, I'm not entirely convinced. Mamata's allegations about the Election Commission and violence during counting are serious. She's no saint, but dismissing her concerns outright seems unfair. The vote share gap of just 5% with such a huge seat difference raises eyebrows - how does that happen? A 206-seat victory with only 45% vote share feels like the system needs more scrutiny. We need transparency, not just political mudslinging from either side. 🤔

The women of Bengal have spoken loud and clear! From Sandeshkhali incidents to lack of safety, Mamata's 'didir doubt' (sister's promise) has worn thin. BJP's sweep shows people want development, not dynasty politics. But I do wonder - with TMC getting 40% vote share, one must ask if we're heading to a polarized state like in some North Indian states. Hope Bengal's new government focuses on jobs and infrastructure, not just blaming the past. 🇮🇳

I'm not Indian, but I find this fascinating. The disparity between vote share (45% vs 40%) and seats (206 vs 80) is enormous - that's the first-past-the-post system at work. Mamata's claims of 'looted seats' might be exaggerated, but electoral reform to make seat-vote correlation fairer seems overdue globally, not just here. Meanwhile, congratulations to BJP for tapping into anti-incumbency. Bengal's culture is unique - hope this victory doesn't erase its secular fabric.

What a historic moment! As a Bengali living outside, I'm thrilled to see our state finally break free from TMC's grip. Mamata's 'hitting' claim seems like desperation - she herself has been accused of using goons against opponents. The CPI(M) and Congress reduction to single seats shows their irrelevance. But the 40%
