“The TMC won because of Mamata Banerjee. It seems people have chosen Didi. We will introspect what went wrong, whether it was organisational issues, lack of face, insider- outsider debate. We will see what went wrong,” he said.
The ruling TMC looks set to retain power in West Bengal with its candidates leading in 201 of the state’s 292 constituencies that went to polls against BJP’s 82, according to the trends available for 287 seats on Election Commission website at 3pm.
