Confident in the outcome of the elections, Sinha predicts a stunning victory for the TMC, asserting, “When the results will be declared (on June 4), it will be very shocking for the opposition and their candidates.” He attributes the party’s success to the unwavering support of party workers, leaders, supporters, and well-wishers, lauding their unprecedented turnout at the polls. “It is the contribution of the TMC party workers, party leaders, their supporters, and their well-wishers… the way they are coming out to vote in such large numbers, that it is very unbelievable,” he asserts.
Sinha contrasts the grassroots support for the TMC with the purported shortcomings of the opposition, advocating for voters to discern between empty promises and tangible action. “It is obviously a question of someone’s fake guarantees and failed guarantees in contrast with Mamata Bannerjee’s commitment and proven guarantees,” he contends, highlighting the transformative initiatives implemented under the leadership of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
Echoing Sinha’s sentiments, his wife offers insights into the atmosphere at polling booths, emphasizing the positive ambiance and enthusiastic participation of voters. “The booths have a positive environment, and everything has been going good,” she remarks, underscoring the overwhelming response from voters during her visits to polling stations in Raniganj.
As the electoral process unfolds, Sinha’s unwavering confidence and grassroots support signal a formidable challenge to his opponents, setting the stage for a closely watched electoral contest in Asansol.
