Striking a defiant tone a day after the Trinamool Congress (TMC) was routed in the West Bengal Assembly elections, CM Mamata Banerjee questioned why should she resign and asserted that her party hadn’t been “defeated” in the elections. “We have not been defeated. I will not resign. Question does not arise of me visiting Raj Bhawan,” Banerjee said in a press conference, flanked by party members Derek O’Brien and Abhishek Banerjee. Banerjee, who is yet to resign as CM, alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah were “directly interfering” in West Bengal elections. She asserted that the next steps require “discussion” and the party will set up a fact-finding mission. Banerjee, who had a 15-year rule as West Bengal CM, said that TMC workers were arrested before elections and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar was the “villain”.
