KOLKATA, May 3 : In her first exclusive interview after winning the West Bengal Assembly election, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee slammed the Election Commission of India saying the poll panel worked like the "BJP's spokesperson" during the election.
Speaking to India Today TV's Consulting Editor Rajdeep Sardesai, Mamata Banerjee said the BJP's seat tally would not have crossed even 50 without the help from the Election Commission.
"The manner in which the Election Commission behaved this time was horrible," she said, adding that despite it she was confident that her party would cross the double century and achieve its target of winning 221 seats. Asked what gave her the confidence of winning 221 seats in this toughly contested election, she said she is a "street fighter".
