#JUSTIN: Mamata Rejects Bengal Exit Polls, Calls Them ‘From BJP Office’
Mamata Banerjee dismisses Bengal exit‑poll projections as BJP‑linked.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has dismissed recent exit poll projections on the state’s political outcomes, alleging that they are politically motivated and not reflective of ground reality. Reacting to the projections that have sparked debate across political circles, Mamata Banerjee reportedly described them as “exit polls from BJP office,” indirectly accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party of influencing or framing such forecasts to shape public perception ahead of final results. Her remarks reflect a long-standing scepticism from her party regarding polling trends that show contrasting electoral outcomes.
The comments come amid heightened political activity in West Bengal, where parties have been closely watching survey data and exit poll predictions following recent phases of voting. Exit polls, which are based on post-voting surveys, often generate significant attention but are not always consistent with final election results.
Mamata Banerjee has previously challenged poll predictions she considered inaccurate, arguing that such projections can influence public sentiment and media narratives before official counting concludes. Her latest reaction follows a similar line of criticism.

Political analysts note that exit polls in West Bengal have historically shown mixed accuracy, with actual results occasionally diverging significantly from early forecasts. This has contributed to ongoing debate over the reliability of such surveys, especially in tightly contested states.
As the electoral process moves toward final counting, all parties are awaiting official results, while political rhetoric around polling data continues to intensify. The Election Commission’s final figures will ultimately determine the outcome, regardless of projections or interpretations made in the interim.
