Ahead of the results for the West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has alleged that exit poll projections were circulated at the `instruction of the BJP` to demoralise Trinamool Congress workers, reported the PTI.

Banerjee dismissed these projections and insisted that her party would secure more than 226 seats, with the possibility of crossing 230.

The Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde will nominate another leader for the deputy CM’s post. (File) Mumbai: The process of government formation in Maharashtra is expected to get a boost after a crucial meeting between caretaker CM Eknath Shinde, Devendra Fadnavis, Ajit Pawar and Union minister Amit Shah in Delhi on Thursday night, sources said.
