Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee has predicted that her party will secure more than 226 seats in the upcoming West Bengal assembly elections.
The ruling TMC announced its list of candidates for the polls, with Mamata contesting from the Bhabanipur assembly constituency.
Exuding confidence in her party's performance, she added, “We will win more than 226 seats in the 2026 assembly polls.”
The West Bengal chief minister also sought to reassure party leaders and workers who weren't fielded for the assembly elections, saying that space would be made for them within the organisation.
Mamata Banerjee's candidature from Bhabanipur implies that it will be a direct contest between her and BJP's Suvendu Adhikari.
West Bengal is set to witness a high-stakes electoral battle for its 294-member legislative assembly in two phases.
