00:00I will sing, and I will sing.
00:47We'll see you next time.
01:04We'll see you next time.
01:28We'll see you next time.
01:36But it's the fourth term.
01:38Will you be fourth time lucky with the TNC?
01:42Yes, of course.
01:43Mangtavananji and the Trinamool are coming back with an absolutely thumping majority.
01:47We can see it.
01:48We can hear it.
01:49We can feel it.
01:50I mean, you could feel the crowd today.
01:52This is one of the most remote places in Bengal, as you know.
01:55Mushtidabad on one side, Bangladesh on the other.
01:57You saw the crowds today.
01:59And unlike the BJP, we don't pay people to come.
02:01Nor do we give them packets of biryani to come for lunch.
02:05And you saw this was all, as we said, Bengali shot a spurt though.
02:09So people coming because they want to.
02:11And so you can see that on the crowd.
02:14Ms. Mantra, you've been campaigning in Bengal for a while.
02:17This time around, it's the fourth time that you are going back to the people.
02:21Is there a sense that possibly anti-incumbency has set in and you add to it the SIR, which
02:26is about, what, 10 to 11 percent of the voters have been deleted?
02:32Because anti-incumbency is a factor when, I'm not saying that any government, after it's
02:39been in power for 15 years, can do everything right.
02:42Obviously, there are issues.
02:43But is the government receptive to people's concerns?
02:47And I would say, Mahmoud Adi, whenever she sees that there's a problem, you know, always
02:53fixes it ASAP.
02:54That's number one.
02:55What's been the problem?
02:56No, if there is a problem.
02:57For example, if something comes in saying that, you know, this section of people are feeling
03:01alienated, something has happened, she addresses the problem very quickly.
03:04So because, and she doesn't wait for election time to fix it.
03:07It's an ongoing process.
03:09So because of that, I don't think we are coming into polls with these great big baggage
03:14of five things we have to fix.
03:16There's nothing like that.
03:16And also, what Trinamul and Mahmoud Adi are very good at is what the BJP system of campaigning
03:24here, and they are the main opposition.
03:25As you can see, there's no Congress or CPM M&A in the assembly.
03:28It's a bipolar contest.
03:30What the BJP's issue is that they come only during elections.
03:33So 2021, we had Amit Shah coming here, you know, Akke Baad, Dosopar, all this Rara,
03:39Wham Wham, everything.
03:41Next five years, nothing, right?
03:42Again, the election comes.
03:44Again, there's nothing.
03:44So, like things like the central, like the railways, for example, Karimpur, what is the
03:49main issue with Karimpur, where we are?
03:51There is no railway connectivity.
03:53Now, I have shouted and screamed in parliament about this, but who is the railway with?
03:57It's with the railway ministry.
03:59So they're saying, oh, vote us to power and we will bring the railway.
04:02You don't need to be voted to power to do the railways.
04:05Why don't you do the railway?
04:06Say, see, we are the BJP.
04:08We brought the railway line to Karimpur and campaign on the basis of that in these five
04:12seats.
04:12You should do that rather than keep trying to run us down.
04:16You know, things like that.
04:17So I don't, and also remember the main welfare schemes, which is Lakshmir Bhandar, Kanyashri,
04:23now Jubor Shati.
04:24We have, it's not like in other states.
04:26For example, you had in Delhi on March 8th, 2025, you had Marendra Modi announced great
04:32fanfare saying in Delhi, everybody will get 2,500 rupees.
04:35Now you're in Delhi.
04:36I'm in Delhi.
04:37Where's the money?
04:38Whereas we in 2021 said we will start this Lakshmir Bhandar and we have now increased
04:42that amount to 1,700 per month for SCST and 1,500 for general caste.
04:47We are reaching 2.4.
04:48But the BJP is offering 3,000.
04:49Yeah, but they're offering 3,000, zero on 3,000 and we get 1,700 on 1,700 because they
04:55offered 2,500 in Delhi, which people didn't get.
04:59They offered 10,000 in Bihar and now they're threatening to take it back.
05:03They offered it in Maharashtra and then they couldn't follow up and give the,
05:06next installments.
05:07So this is the age of electronic communication, of social media.
05:11Something is happening in Bihar, Delhi or Maharashtra, people in Bengal know.
05:15But Ms. Maitra, you know, your party wants to make it as a pitched battle between Delhi
05:18and Bengal.
05:19Now the BJP has learnt its lessons.
05:21They have strengthened their unit in West Bengal.
05:25It's not the, you know, pitched, belligerent campaign and the aggressive kind of campaign
05:30we've seen the last time around.
05:31Even the Prime Minister this time isn't making any direct attacks on Mamata Banerjee.
05:35You would have possibly wanted it that way.
05:36But it's not happening that way.
05:38How is it not happening?
05:39I don't think because day before yesterday, they're a transmutation corruption.
05:43Because they're on the back foot.
05:44They're muted because they're on the back foot.
05:46Yesterday, before yesterday, I heard a video of Amitra saying, Mamata Ji, your bandages
05:52on your head or your foot.
05:53In Bhavani Purshi, he's sitting and attacking her.
05:55Saying your bandages on your head or your foot are not going to help you play the victim
05:59card.
05:59Is that not a personal attack?
06:02Because for coming with the Prime Minister, who spends his time from morning to evening
06:06putting makeup on his face and doing fake photo shoots, that's a bit rich, no?
06:09Saying Mamata Ji is playing the victim card.
06:11But you'd like them to target Mamata Ji?
06:13We don't.
06:14No, no, we don't.
06:15I think that is absolute garbage.
06:18Mamata Didi is the leader of our party and our Chief Minister.
06:21We most certainly do not want anyone to sit here and abuse her or dishonor her in any
06:26way because there's dishonoring all of us and the women of Bengal.
06:29But I disagree with you when you said they've learned their lesson.
06:32They will never learn their lesson.
06:33They're attacking you in corruption.
06:35They're talking about the corruption.
06:37They are the corruption.
06:38Where is the development?
06:38They're talking about, they're trying to exploit every anti-incumbency issue.
06:41Oh, come on, wait a minute.
06:42The issue here is SIR.
06:44The issue in Bengal is SIR.
06:47There is no other issue.
06:49SIR, when you have taken an electorate and you have put on the basis of the draft roll,
06:54which was 7.06 crores and you have gone and put 1.36 crore people in the name of some
07:02illogical discrepancy, which means nothing.
07:04And you put valid voters through this entire hierarchy of going through hearings multiple
07:09times and then come out again and managed to delete 27 lakh valid voters and they have
07:15no appeal.
07:16As you know, we are going into polls in 12 days.
07:18There are no appellate tribunals even set up.
07:20People can't even appeal to this.
07:22This is the main issue for the first time in the history of India.
07:26Somebody's fundamental right to vote has been taken away and there's nothing they can do
07:30about it.
07:31The last we saw this was, you know, was in fascist regimes.
07:35We've never seen this.
07:36No, no, no, no, no, no.
07:37This is the main issue.
07:38So this is the main issue here.
07:40And, you know, this is what this Goospatia story, this infiltrator story, it's done and
07:45dusted.
07:46Nobody's buying this garbage anymore.
07:48No, I hear you on the SIR issue and I do agree it's a huge issue.
07:52There needs to be a certain amount of redressal on what's really going on.
07:56I hear you on that.
07:57But the narrative which is being spun by the BJP, this is just another excuse that the
08:01TMC is looking to pin the blame on what is deep-rooted and seated anti-incumbency.
08:06So did we ask for the SIR?
08:08If they thought that this was terrible anti-incumbency and Mamata Banerjee and the TMC were going
08:13to lose, so one second, what would we do?
08:16What should they have done?
08:17One second.
08:18If they thought, we didn't ask them to do the SIR.
08:20There was no reason on the planet, given that the CEO of Maharashtra had written to
08:26the election commission and said that you do not do this in the poll-bound states.
08:29We are going into election, an exercise which should take a year.
08:34They did in exactly 40 days, 1st of November to 10th of December.
08:39So we didn't ask them to do that.
08:40If they thought there was such huge anti-incumbency, they should have just sat back and they should
08:46have just played us on the anti-incumbency.
08:48Nowhere has this logical discrepancy happened.
08:50And nowhere have people who are valid MAP voters been put through this and nowhere has
08:56this appellate tribunal and 27-mails taken out.
08:59That's the main issue.
09:00So we had no problem.
09:01If you felt this was anti-incumbency, you had it on a plate.
09:04You should have sat back.
09:05If I were the BJP and there was huge anti-incumbency against Mamta Bananji, I should have said,
09:10you know what, let's play to our strength.
09:12Let's tell people she's been there thrice, try us, these are the issues.
09:15Instead of that, what have you done?
09:17You have called us Rohingyas, you have called us Bangladeshis, you have abused our language,
09:21you have abused and humiliated our people in all the BJP states.
09:25You have come in and you say that they're running a low-pitch campaign where, what does
09:30the Prime Minister say three days ago in Bakula?
09:33You have paid a thousand crores to Humayun Kabir to split the vote and the Prime Minister
09:38is saying this is an AI-generated video when Humayun Kabir himself is saying I have the
09:43full 51 minutes of it.
09:44No, no, one second, because when you're talking about that particular video, just because
09:48you have somebody who's sitting there and it could be the musings or the fanciful musings
09:53of Humayun Kabir.
09:54It's not the fanciful, of course, of course, of course, somebody can say that about you
09:59as well.
09:59He's saying it, they did say it about me, they did, we don't know about this, no, but
10:03I'm fighting it, but I'm fighting it, so no, the question here is not that, the question
10:07is, this is a video, Humayun Kabir, where does he get the money to have a chopper from?
10:12This is the BJP's, Humayun Kabir is on video, where he is saying very clearly that X, Y
10:18and Z, he's naming people.
10:20We didn't create the video, this is only one of the, one of the, one of the very many
10:26instances that the BJP comes in and tries to split the vote.
10:30So you've humiliated our people, you've humiliated our language, you understand nothing about
10:35us, where do you come in and think that you're going to vote?
10:37You can make these allegations, but Ms. Moitra, you know, because you've suffered at the
10:41same thing, where people have alleged that you've said something, but you never did.
10:45So, sometimes...
10:46So, one second, but this is a video, was I caught on video?
10:48No, no, I hear you.
10:49You know, what, was I caught on video?
10:51Humayun Kabir has been caught on video.
10:53It could just be Humayun Kabir.
10:54It's not Humayun Kabir, there is a proof from the other side, there is a proof from the other
10:58side.
10:58Why would Humayun Kabir sit there and say, I've been given thousand crores by the BJP?
11:02He should say, I've been given thousand crores by the Congress, which would be much more
11:05possible or any more.
11:06Until and unless...
11:06That's not the point, but that's not the point.
11:08I love the way that the Godi media always insists that their burden of proof is on us when
11:14we level the allegation and when the BJP levels the most absurd allegations, the burden of
11:19proof is always on the victim to have the proof.
11:21That's not true.
11:22That's not fair.
11:23That's not fair.
11:23That's not fair.
11:23No, no, no.
11:24That's not fair.
11:24You can't be...
11:25No, no, no.
11:26I'm not...
11:26I didn't say...
11:27I said the Godi media.
11:28I didn't say that you're not...
11:29That's okay.
11:29Okay, let me come back.
11:30Why I say that is it suits the TMC that the Prime Minister takes an authoritarian role,
11:35a more dominating role, because then it gives space to Mamata Banerjee, Didi, to take this
11:40feisty street fighter, downtrodden against all the odds image.
11:45Now, that battle's not playing out.
11:47One second, one second.
11:48The use being this...
11:50If we win this battle and we will, it's not an if, it's a when.
11:54We win this battle, it will be the battle, it will be David versus Goliath.
11:59Because for the first time in India, you have had the BJP with all its money, all its
12:04resources, they're fought in different states.
12:06For the first time, we have seen a constitutional body, the election commission and the chief
12:11election commissioner acting second only to Amit Shah.
12:15He is the chief strategist of this election.
12:18He...
12:18The election commission is the BJP's A team, B team, C team, D team, every team possible.
12:23So, we are fighting what is supposed to be a constitutional body, which is setting the
12:27rules for the election.
12:28So, we are playing on somebody else's pitch, where somebody else owns the referee.
12:32So, basically, you're saying you're fighting with the...
12:34So, we are fighting with...
12:34We are fighting and it's only Mamta.
12:36I'm going to say it suits us.
12:38We are not calling the shots.
12:40The Prime Minister is calling the shots.
12:42We can...
12:42He can choose not to come here.
12:43But you don't make it about a Shubhendu Adhikari.
12:45You don't make it about a Sharmik Bhattachari.
12:46You make it about...
12:47But who is Shubhendu Adhikari?
12:48Who is Shubhendu Adhikari?
12:48You make it about Prime Minister Modi and the Minister Ramachari.
12:50Because they're not fighting on Shubhendu's face.
12:53Shubhendu Adhikari was in our party.
12:54We know what his worth is.
12:56Are we going to waste our time replying to Shubhendu Adhikari?
12:58Why are you patronizing?
12:59No, no, I'm not patronizing.
13:00I don't care.
13:01I don't care.
13:01I have nothing to do.
13:02We know he was in our party.
13:03He stabbed Mamta in the back and went over.
13:05Good luck to him.
13:06Are we going to waste our time fighting Shubhendu Adhikari?
13:08We don't care.
13:09We don't care.
13:10Good luck to him.
13:11But the issue is not that.
13:13They are not fighting on Shubhendu's face.
13:15They are coming here saying Narendra Modi is your candidate.
13:17They are coming here saying Narendra Modi is the candidate in 294 seats.
13:21So if you're fighting with Narendra Modi against it,
13:23then obviously we are going to pitch ourselves against that.
13:25You're going to show...
13:26Sharmik Bhattachari walked on the street in Kareemput, nobody recognized him.
13:30Sharmik Bhattachari walked outside wherever he lives and in any other district in Bengal,
13:34nobody on the road would recognize him.
13:36And I'm not saying this.
13:37I like Sharmik.
13:38He's my friend and I respect him.
13:40He's not a Shubhendu.
13:41He's actually a gentleman and I like Sharmik.
13:43That's not the point.
13:43But the point is that that is their mass appeal.
13:47So, you know, when you're a Vengi,
13:48so what are we going to do?
13:49Waste our time fighting with all this?
13:50With the Lilliputs?
13:52We're fighting Goliath.
13:53Okay, last couple of questions.
13:55Is there nervousness?
13:57Is there apprehension?
13:59Because with what happened in Nandigram last time,
14:01you have a Bhabani pull right now,
14:03where you have a Shubhendu.
14:04I know you don't like him too much,
14:05but you have a Shubhendu coming in.
14:07And the BJP is trying to pitch this battle
14:09as a Nandigram.
14:11That's the biggest mistake they've made, remember.
14:13They've made the biggest mistake.
14:15The election petition on Nandigram is still pending.
14:17There was a power outage
14:19and there are still very many questions
14:20asked about the counting process
14:22and how he actually won.
14:23There is an election petition pending on that.
14:26Bhavanipur is to the soul of Bengal
14:30and to Mamata Banerjee and to the Trinamul
14:32what I would say, you know,
14:35the salt march was to Mahatma Gandhi.
14:37It is as connected
14:39because Bhavanipur is her janambhumi,
14:43her karambhumi, her everything.
14:44So Bengal, Bengalis, Calcutta,
14:47the nerve center identifies with her.
14:49So they are making a huge mistake
14:51if they think that the people of Bhavanipur
14:55are going to go against Mamata Banerjee.
14:56They never will.
14:57They never will.
14:58As long as there is a Bengal
14:59and there is a Bengali,
15:00Mamata Banerjee will always win Bhavanipur.
15:03And you will see this
15:04because it doesn't matter
15:05when they do a large nomination rally
15:07and they bus send people from outside
15:09and they fill the streets, it's okay.
15:11The people who actually live in Bhavanipur
15:12are watching the fun and saying,
15:13okay, this is what they are doing.
15:15Good luck to them.
15:15Because they know at the end of the day
15:17they are the ones who are going to go.
15:18Why I say there is an apprehension is
15:19because let's come back to the SIR
15:21because that is a huge issue.
15:22The kind of deletions
15:23that have taken place in Bhavanipur.
15:25Now there is micro detailing of that deletion.
15:27Yes.
15:27A lot of them come from the Muslim community.
15:29A lot of that community supports your party.
15:31And the deletions I would reckon last time
15:34in 21, Mamata Banerjee won
15:36in that by-election which she fought later
15:38with a margin of about 50-odd thousand votes.
15:41That's exactly the deletions.
15:43That's a very bad,
15:45I'm a mathematics major
15:46and let me tell you that it doesn't work like that.
15:49It doesn't, when you won by 50,000
15:51they've deleted 50,000 votes.
15:53So the first lot of deletions
15:55which were out of 7.66 crores
15:56were under the absent shifted dead
15:58and duplicate category, ASDT.
16:0058 lakhs.
16:01That is across all constituencies.
16:04Then you have the unmapped 32 lakhs.
16:06Right.
16:07And out of that
16:07there was a disproportionate share of Hindus
16:09because of the Madhuas
16:11and the people who had come over from Bangladesh
16:13they were maximum.
16:14Out of the 32 lakhs unmapped
16:16the maximum Hindus
16:17they were not Muslim.
16:18Even out of the 60 lakhs
16:20if you take the total 90 lakh deletion
16:2257 lakhs
16:23that is 68% are Hindus.
16:26Only 31% of the 90 lakhs.
16:2958 lakhs
16:30plus 5 lakhs
16:31plus 32 lakhs
16:32makes a total deletion of 90 lakhs.
16:35We have done
16:35a complete breakdown of all of that
16:37that is public information
16:39and 57 lakhs are Hindus.
16:42So this myth that they're trying to say
16:43So you're saying SIR is going to cut both ways.
16:46It's definitely going to affect
16:48it's definitely going to affect
16:49if you see in Mushirabad
16:50in some areas
16:52you've seen that
16:53almost a lakh relations per constituency
16:55but where is the BJP in there?
16:57The BJP is not in there.
16:58The BJP is not even in the running.
16:59So you're saying
17:00that your margins will come down.
17:01Margins whatever may happen
17:02but this is an assembly election.
17:04This is an assembly election
17:05please understand
17:05and also
17:06what this has done is
17:08it has angered people so much
17:10because in India
17:11people are very sentimental
17:11about the right to vote.
17:13That is something
17:14that even the poorest person
17:15on the street has.
17:16So they're very sentimental about that.
17:18You can't tell people in Bengal
17:20oh by the way
17:20you can't vote in this election
17:21you'll vote in this election.
17:22We have a right to vote
17:23in every election.
17:24So that's not the issue.
17:26You're saying SIR is working for you.
17:27SIR
17:28it's not that it's working for us
17:29but it's not
17:30people have realized
17:31how unfair this is
17:32and what the BJP is trying to do.
17:34Amit Shah himself came out
17:36and I think
17:37he has announced
17:38the death knell for the BJP
17:40by one of his war cries.
17:42He said
17:43detect, delete
17:45and deport.
17:46So he has done the detection
17:48through the election commission.
17:49He has done the deletion
17:50through the election commission.
17:51Now what he's telling Bengalis
17:53we will do what we've done in Assam
17:54we will deport you
17:55put in detention camps.
17:56Now please understand
17:57that for 90 lakh Bengalis
17:59who have gone through this process
18:02barring the absent shifted
18:03that actual true ones
18:04the others
18:05who are valid voters
18:06certainly upwards of 30 lakh people
18:08are like
18:09oh what
18:10you have detected us
18:10you have deleted us
18:11and now you think
18:12you are going to deport us.
18:13Can you imagine
18:14what kind of anger
18:15why couldn't they do
18:15the NRC in Assam?
18:17Because there are 18 lakh Hindus
18:18at the end of it.
18:19That's why they couldn't do it.
18:21So it's the same thing here
18:22when they said
18:22they told the Matwas
18:23that we will give you CAA.
18:26Today the Matwas have realized
18:27we have been deleted
18:28and we have not yet got CAA
18:30even though it has been
18:31six years
18:31since the seven years
18:32that the act was passed.
18:34So what are you going to tell
18:36the Matwas?
18:37Basically what you said earlier
18:39that it's going to come both ways
18:40and possibly
18:40And it's made people very angry
18:42it's made people very angry
18:43because
18:44You think it's changed the narrative?
18:45Absolutely
18:46and it's made people very angry
18:48that the BJP
18:49is singularly responsible for this.
18:51Last request.
18:51We are the only party
18:52on the ground
18:53that's fighting it.
18:54No, last question.
18:55You speak of war cries.
18:56What's really interesting
18:57Ms. Moitra is
18:57how the TMC's war cry
18:59is concerned
18:59because clearly
19:00that also seems
19:00that there is a bit
19:01of polarization.
19:02From Joy Bangla
19:03now the war cry
19:04also has
19:05one day matram.
19:07No, our war cry
19:07is not
19:08One day matram
19:08wasn't there
19:09One day matram
19:10was
19:10One day matram
19:11because they brought
19:12in a bill
19:12We've always said
19:13one day matram.
19:14But never in the way
19:15you've said it.
19:16No, you've always said it
19:17but not as a...
19:18No, no, no, no.
19:19I am an old congressee
19:21Bantai Vanerji
19:22herself is an old congressee
19:23from congress days.
19:24We have always said
19:25one day matram.
19:26I spoke on this
19:27in parliament
19:27it is the BJP
19:28who didn't even know
19:29what one day matram was
19:30and to move the narrative
19:32to move the narrative
19:33brought in this bill
19:34last time into parliament.
19:35So don't teach us
19:36about one day matram
19:37we're very clear about that.
19:38I'm just saying
19:38I hear it a lot more.
19:39We've always said
19:40one day matram
19:41because suddenly
19:41they've started acting
19:42as oh they're the ones
19:43who are bringing in bar.
19:44We've not.
19:44Not at all.
19:45We've always said
19:45one day matram.
19:46Maybe you are hearing it more
19:47because the BJP
19:48has taught you
19:48that one day matram
19:49is from Bengal.
19:50No, no.
19:50We've always said
19:51one day matram
19:52since we were kids.
19:53Ask them to sing it
19:54they can't even sing
19:55the soulful song.
19:56But our war cry
19:57this time is
19:58no matter how many
20:03hamlas you do on us
20:04no matter how much
20:04you attack us
20:05people will bingo on.
20:06That is our war cry
20:07this time.
20:08One day matram
20:08is not a war cry.
20:09Please understand.
20:10It's never been a war cry
20:11and will never be a war cry.
20:12It was only in the context
20:14of Anandamot
20:15that people started
20:15looking at it
20:16just like that.
20:16It is a note
20:17to the motherland.
20:18It is not a war cry.
20:19It is very wrong
20:19to think of it like that.
20:20Fair point.
20:21Okay, Ms. Maitra
20:22the fact is
20:24anti-incumbency
20:25can be a rage
20:26but do you think
20:28it's
20:28how important
20:29will the woman vote
20:30come in
20:31to possibly blunt
20:32that rage?
20:33I honestly feel
20:35I honestly feel
20:35that people have heard
20:36so much of Modi
20:37and Amit Shah's
20:38jumlahs
20:39that the anti-incumbency
20:40is against the
20:40central government
20:41because they have
20:42now fought
20:43three elections
20:43on Modi's face.
20:45Right or wrong?
20:45They have fought
20:4616,
20:47they have fought
20:4821,
20:49they have fought
20:4924
20:49and they have done
20:51progressively worse
20:51in all of these.
20:5224 elections
20:53results are much
20:54worse than 21 results.
20:55So you can see
20:56the anti-incumbency
20:57is against Modi's face.
20:59Again they are
20:59doing the same thing.
21:00The 24 results
21:01for the BJP
21:02were terrible in Bengal
21:03compared to 21 results
21:04and compared to 19 results.
21:06So they peaked
21:06from 16 to 19
21:07since then
21:08the slope has been
21:09going down.
21:09So now I think
21:10the anti-incumbency
21:12it's the same Modi,
21:13it's the same Amit Shah
21:13coming again
21:14every five years
21:15and giving us
21:15the same story.
21:16But women have
21:17usually got
21:18Didi's back.
21:18Women,
21:19Didi's got their back.
21:21Didi's got their back
21:22and so women
21:23connect with Didi.
21:24A lot of deletions
21:25are women as well.
21:27A majority of the deletions
21:28are doing it.
21:28Absolutely because
21:29that's what the BJP think.
21:30The BJP think that
21:32by targeting
21:34minorities,
21:34Dalits,
21:35OBCs,
21:36SCs,
21:37STs
21:37and women
21:38that they are going
21:39to do away
21:39with our support system.
21:41But what they don't
21:41realize is
21:42for every one deletion
21:44that you do
21:44in a family
21:45if there are four people
21:45and you have deleted
21:46the women in there
21:47the other three voters
21:48get so angry
21:49that previously
21:50two of them
21:51would have voted
21:51this time
21:52three of them
21:52would have voted
21:53and two of them
21:53have voted for BJP
21:54this time
21:55they will all vote
21:55for TMC.
21:56Because there is
21:57not even one person
21:58in Bengal
21:59who has any doubt
22:01that this SIR mess
22:02was created by BJP.
22:04So whether they planned it,
22:05whether they didn't plan it,
22:06I don't know.
22:07If they planned it
22:08then they are very foolish.
22:09If they didn't plan it
22:10and this has happened
22:11then all we can say
22:13is God is looking out
22:14for us.
22:14Well thank you
22:14Miss Moitra.
22:15What are you expecting?
22:16You are saying two thirds.
22:17Look, we will come
22:19with a thumping majority
22:22and we will be
22:23very close to
22:24if not more than last time.
22:26I don't know exact numbers
22:27but look
22:27as you can see
22:28I am very caught up
22:29in my own area
22:30and I can promise
22:31that last time
22:32we got seven out of eight
22:33in my district.
22:34I will definitely get
22:35seven out of eight
22:35in my district.
22:36I am hoping for eight on eight
22:37but I can sign on
22:39seven on eight today.
22:40Okay.
22:41Thank you Miss Moitra.
22:42Thank you so much Priti
22:42and thank you for coming
22:43all this week.
22:44No, no.
22:44Thank you so much
22:45and I wish you lots of luck.
