As trends suggest that TMC is leading in the West Bengal elections, party leader Firhad Hakim on May 2 said that BJP tried their best to crack the elections but couldn't succeed. He also said that he already knew that Mamata Banerjee would be the Chief Minister of Bengal again. “I was always telling the press that Mamata Banerjee will be Chief Minister for the 3rd time. BJP tried their best to crack but they didn't succeed. The Left has now vanished from West Bengal due to their wrong policy of taking a communal force against a communal force,” said TMC’s Hakim.
