"Before the start of the election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had declared his party's victory. But things have now changed and he is now rattled. He can see that the result will not turn out as expected so he is taking other resorts to mislead people. He has failed in many aspects and has been exposed in front of the people," Chowdhury told ANI.
He also attacked the Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal, saying that he wanted to expose the "wrongdoings" of the government.
"There is anti-incumbency against the state government of West Bengal. I want to expose the wrongdoings of the government in front of the people," he told ANI.
Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury is the sitting MP from Baharampur and in this Lok Sabha elections 2024, he is pitted against former Team India cricketer Yusuf Pathan, who is contesting on the TMC ticket and BJP has fielded Nirmal Saha, a doctor from the constituency.
Baharampur is one of the two Lok Sabha seats that the Congress is currently holding in the state. Chowdhury has won the Baharampur Lok Sabha seat since 1999.
Baharampur will go to the polls on May 13 in Phase 4.
Chowdhury defeated TMC's Apurba Sarkar from the constituency in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls with a margin of 80,696 votes.
Though still a part of the Opposition bloc--INDIA, the TMC chose to go it alone in Bengal and announced candidates for all 42 Lok Sabha seats in the state.
The Congress and the Left Front have a seat-sharing arrangement in the state under which the Left parties contest 30 seats and the Congress contests the remaining 12 seats.
In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the TMC took the lion's share of the electoral spoils in the state, at 34, while the BJP had to be content with just 2 seats. The CPI(M) and the Congress won 2 and 4 seats, respectively.
However, in a poll stunner that few saw coming, the BJP turned the tables on the ruling TMC in the 2019 polls, winning to 18 seats. The ruling party in the state saw its tally reduced to 22. The Congress fared a lowly third in the tally with just 2 seats while the Left Front was down to just a lone seat.
