Based on related reporting.
Related reporting research found that the viral clip was taken out of context: Mondal’s 15–16-seat remark referred to the party opposing TMC, not TMC itself. BOOM reports that in the longer video he said high turnout favoured TMC and predicted the party would win 130 seats initially, with its tally possibly reaching 240.[S1]
