West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday, 17 January, said the mega Opposition rally being hosted by the Trinamool Congress in Kolkata on 19 January would sound the "death knell" for the BJP in the Lok Sabha polls and regional parties would be the deciding factor.
She also claimed the BJP's seat count in the general election will not cross more than 125. The number of seats that the state parties will win will be much more than the BJP's, she further claimed.
"The federal parties, that is the regional parties, will be the deciding factor after the elections. And the rally will sound the death knell for BJP... Obviously they (BJP) will not cross more than 125 seats," the CM said.
