Lok Sabha Election 2024: 'TMC Will Support I.N.D.I.A Bloc From Outside To Form Govt': Mamata Banerjee

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday labelled the Election Commission (EC) as a "puppet" operating under the directives of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Addressing an election rally at Chinsurah in Hooghly district, Banerjee criticised the EC for scheduling the polls over a period of two months, alleging that this decision favoured the saffron party while disregarding the hardships faced by the common people due to excessive heat.

Expressing scepticism about the BJP's ambitious target of 400 seats in this Lok Sabha elections, Mamata Banerjee said her party will support the I.N.D.I.A bloc from outside to form the government.

"BJP is claiming of winning 400 seats, but people are saying it will not happen this time. We (TMC) will support the INDIA bloc from outside to form a government at the Centre," she said.
