An extreme confusion has been created over polls results in Nandigram in the General election to the Legislative Assembly of West Bengal.

After 17 rounds of vote counting, Trinamool Congress (TMC) Chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was reported to have won. But in the evening, questions began to arise about Mamata’s victory. It is being said nothing is known properly due to problem in the server. After that news came over the victory of Suvendu Adhikari by 1622 votes.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Suvendu Adhikari phoned West Bengal news media and claimed that he had won the election by 1622 votes.

However, without the postal ballot, the margin of Shuvendu’s victory against Mamata is 9,787 votes. 
Then, Mamata acknowledged in a press conference that she defeated polls in Nandigram.

She said, “I accept the verdict in Nandigram. it is not a big deal. Don’t worry.”

But soon after, the Trinamool tweeted: “The counting process for Nandigram has not been completed. Please do not speculate.”

However, Mamata expressed her gratitude to the people of Bengal for her party’s victory despite her defeat.
