Aam Janata Unnayan Party (AUJP) founder Humayun Kabir on Monday congratulated people of West Bengal for rejecting Trinamool Congress in assembly elections, accusing West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of "looting" the state.

Speaking to reporters, Humayun Kabir said, "What can I say? What has happened is good. This was bound to happen. Mamata Banerjee became the CM thrice. She gave so much authority to her nephew. They cheated the people and looted their money. In 15 years, they surpassed the loot which was done by the British looted in 100-200 years. I would like to congratulate the people of Bengal who gave such a reply to TMC, who looted the state"

Humayun Kabir, who was expelled from TMC over the Babri Masjid construction controversy in Murshidabad, is now leading in both seats- Reijinagar and Nowda, according to the Election Commission of India.

In Reijinagar, TMC's candidate Ataur Rahaman has slipped to the third position after the third round of counting, while BJP's Bapan Ghosh is in the second position with a 6325-vote deficit.

In Nowda, TMC has also suffered the safe fate, with its candidate Sahina Momtaz Khan in third place, behind Humayun Kabir, who is in first place after seven rounds of counting

Expressing confidence in his victory, Kabir said, "I will win both seats and take the certificate home at 3 pm."

Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party has crossed the majority mark in the breathtaking West Bengal Elections, derailing Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee's ambition of a consecutive fourth term.

According to ECI trends till 1:15 pm, the BJP is leading on 187 seats, while the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress is leading on 92 seats.

Meanwhile, BJP workers raised slogans of 'Jai Shree Ram' outside the residence of West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata as the BJP gained a comfortable majority.

West Bengal Election Result: ‘Ram Rajya’ will be established in Bengal, says Sukanta Majumdar as BJP leads in early trends

As early trends in the West Bengal Assembly elections show the BJP taking the lead, Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar on Monday said the initial results indicate a major political shift in the state and said that 'Ram Raj' is going to be established.

Speaking to reporters, Majumdar said, “This is just the beginning. Only two or three rounds have been completed, and postal ballots have also been counted. However, the early trends clearly suggest that a BJP government is likely to be formed. ‘Ram Raj’ is going to be established in West Bengal.”

BJP leader and Kharagpur Sadar candidate Dilip Ghosh said that all necessary arrangements for counting have been made.
“Preparations are complete—from the government’s side, the Election Commission, and our party as well. The way people have voted indicates that change is certain,” he said.

Ghosh added that heavy security deployment is in place to ensure smooth counting.

“Only police and security forces are visible, as there are concerns that some may try to create disturbances during counting. However, proper arrangements have been made to ensure a peaceful process,” he said, expressing confidence that the results will become clearer by the afternoon.

Meanwhile, BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari is ahead in the high-profile Bhabanipur constituency in south Kolkata in early trends of West Bengal Assembly elections where he is contesting against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

After two rounds of counting, Adhikari is leading by a margin of 1,558 votes. It may be noted that Adhikari is also leading in Nandigram Assembly constituency by a margin of 7,698 votes in East Midnapore district.

Speaking to media persons following the early trends, Adhikari said, "BJP is forming the government. Initial trends show BJP is ahead in 135 plus seats and Trinamool Congress ahead in over 100 seats. It will be a neck-to-neck fight in Bhabanipur. I salute my Hindu voters for giving me a lead. There is anti-incumbency, plus Hindus are consolidated in favour of the BJP. This is a very good signal for us."

In 2021, Adhikari had defeated Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Nandigram by a slim margin of 1,956 votes.

After the first hour of counting of votes for the two-phase Assembly elections in West Bengal on Monday, the trend was showing a neck-and-neck battle between the ruling party and the Opposition BJP, with the BJP slightly ahead of the Trinamool Congress.

After the first three hours of counting, the tally for the BJP’s initial lead was 127, followed by the Trinamool Congress’ 87.

Congress candidates are yet to take a lead in any seat, while the CPI(M)-led Left Front candidates were leading in one seat. Aam Janata Unnayan Party (AJUP) chairman Humayun Kabir is leading from Rejinagar in Murshidabad district.

There will be a minimum of ten rounds and a maximum of 26 in terms of counting rounds based on the constituency-wise number of voters.

West Bengal Election Result: People decided to vote for change, defeat fear - BJP on leading Bengal trends

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday said that trends released by the Election Commission of India in West Bengal indicate a strong wave in its favour, asserting that the people of the state are making their voice heard by "defeating fear".

The remarks came as the BJP was leading in 185 Assembly seats across the state, while the Trinamool Congress was ahead in 91 seats, according to ECI trends available at around 1 p.m., pointing to a significant gap between the two parties.

Reacting to the early trends, BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi said that both exit polls and counting trends were indicating a similar outcome.

"The signals given by the exit polls and the trends that are coming are pointing in the same direction -- that there is a wave of nationalism in Bengal. The trends will soon turn into results, and the wave will take the form of a tsunami," he told IANS.

He further said, "The conduct of these polls in a peaceful, fair and free manner, under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, HM Amit Shah, Suvendu Adhikari and Samik Bhattacharya, and all others, is a sign of revolution."

BJP national spokesperson Rohan Gupta also expressed confidence that the trends would solidify further in the party's favour.

"The trends will be consolidated in favour of the BJP, and this is not a wave but a tsunami. This is the voice of the people of West Bengal. As Prime Minister Modi said, the people of West Bengal are fighting a battle for freedom. Today, together with the BJP, the voice of the people of West Bengal has won," he said.

"I believe this is the people's victory. I would especially like to thank the people of West Bengal for achieving this victory by defeating fear. People were suppressed by fear, and this time they voted for the change; they had had enough. The BJP will fulfil all aspirations of the people of the state," he added.

Another party spokesperson, Rajiv Jaitley, said the trends signal a major political shift in the state.

"The vanvaas of the people of Bengal is finally coming to an end. The people never wanted the Trinamool Congress to win; they knew that if TMC won, they would not let people live in Bengal. The BJP, on its own strength, is leading in Bengal now," he told IANS.

In the first round of counting, out of the 14 booths, 6 are Muslim-majority. They used to get 90-95% of those votes last time, but it didn't happen this time; there is a crack.

Through SIR, they tried to steal votes, and even now, we are ahead by more than 100 seats, which is not being reported. Everything is being reported wrong. The Election Commission is working entirely as per its own will, and central forces are also with them. The police are also working with the central forces. I tell party workers that there is no need to feel disheartened; you will win after sunset. The counting of 2-4 rounds has taken place, the counting goes up to 14-18 rounds, and we will win.
