In a resolute address, Banerjee urged Trinamool Congress candidates and agents not to abandon counting centers, asserting that misinformation was being spread about the electoral lead. With reports indicating the BJP leading in 188 constituencies, Banerjee maintained confidence in a significant number of seats still secured by her party.

Despite mounting challenges, she encouraged TMC workers to remain steadfast, assuring more counting rounds and emphasizing faith in their eventual success.
