CM Mamata Banerjee greets winners, but wants full review of results
New Delhi, May 23 (IBNS/UNI) Trinamool Congress supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday gracefully conceded electoral losses in the state as the BJP emerged as a key opponent of her party but said that a review of the results was required.
"Congratulations to the winners. But all losers are not losers. We have to do a complete review and then we will share our views with you all. Let the counting process be completed fully and the VVPATs matched," the WB CM tweeted.
The saffron party had established comfortable leads in Asansol and Darjeeling -- the two seats it won in 2014 and also 15 others while Banerjee's charisma could help her party in 24 out of the total 42 seats, with final results awaited.
