Roaring with defiance, Mamata asserted that they did not lose the election; rather, the BJP hijacked the public mandate by manipulating the Election Commission.

Making a major revelation, she claimed that, under the guise of voter list revision, the votes of hundreds of thousands of her supporters were deliberately struck off, and her agents were intimidated and threatened during the vote-counting process.
