Sanchita Chatterjee, BS News Agency: "Modi hacked the EVMs, and that is precisely why we lost. However, we are not the sort to accept defeat. This is my pledge to the entire people of West Bengal," stated Mamata Banerjee. "We did not lose; 100 of our seats were forcibly stolen. Our battle was not against the BJP; it was against the Election Commission. From Delhi, they cunningly managed to restrict the media to covering only the results of the first round of counting."
