Mamata's prediction: 315 seats for I.N.D.I.A bloc, BJP will win 195

Weeks after predicting that her I.N.D.I.A. ally Congress would struggle to get 40 seats in the Lok Sabha, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday predicted that the I.N.D.I.A. bloc would win at least 315 seats while the BJP would win a maximum of 195 seats.

“The I.N.D.I.A. bloc will come to power after this election. But here in Bengal, we are fighting the BJP alone as the Congress and the Left are helping the BJP," she claimed.

"The polling so far has been good. That is why the leaders of the ruling party at the Centre are tense. They have realised that Narendra Modi will not be back as the Prime Minister. They should not brag about 400 seats anymore. They will only win 195 seats while the I.N.D.I.A. bloc will win 315," Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said at an election rally at Bongaon Lok Sabha constituency in North 24 Parganas district on Monday.
