"The people of Bengal have made up their minds. The way record voting took place in the first phase of elections, the anger of the people against TMC and Mamata Banerjee was visible at the booths. The people of Bengal are fed up with TMC and are looking towards the Prime Minister. In the coming times, the BJP will form the government there with a full majority," he said.
Additionally, BJP leader Ramkripal Yadav also stated that people of West Bengal want a change and have stopped believing in TMC.
